The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has announced that Toyota Motor Corp. will recall over 42,000 vehicles in the United States due to a potential loss of power brake assist. The recall affects certain 2023 Toyota models.
The NHTSA said that a software glitch in the brake control module could cause the power brake assist to fail. This could make it more difficult for drivers to stop the vehicle, especially in emergency situations.
Toyota is aware of the issue and is working on a software update to fix it. The recall is expected to begin in October.
In the meantime, Toyota is advising drivers of affected vehicles to be aware of the issue and to maintain a safe following distance. If they experience any problems with the brakes, they should contact a Toyota dealership.
The NHTSA has not reported any injuries related to the issue.
This is the second recall for Toyota this year. In January, the automaker recalled over 650,000 vehicles due to a faulty fuel pump.
Toyota is one of the world’s largest automakers, with sales of over 10 million vehicles per year. The company has a strong reputation for safety, and this recall is a reminder that even the best companies can make mistakes.
If you own a Toyota vehicle, it is important to be aware of any recalls that may affect your car. You can check for recalls by visiting the NHTSA website or contacting your Toyota dealership.
