Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Toyota is recalling certain Toyota Racing Development (TRD) brake kits installed on 2007-2012 model year FJ Cruiser vehicles. The recall affects two specific brake kit models (part numbers PTR09-35070 and PTR09-35100) that were sold as optional accessories. If wheel balance weights are installed in an incorrect location on TRD 16-inch wheels, the outer brake tube can become damaged, potentially causing brake fluid to leak from the tube.
A damaged and leaking brake tube may result in increased stopping distances and, in some cases, loss of front braking performance, which could increase the risk of a crash. Toyota will notify all known owners by first class mail and will replace the brake caliper outer brake tube with a newly designed one at no charge, along with any necessary wheel balance adjustments. Owners can contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-800-331-4331 for more information.

Toyota is recalling certain Toyota Racing Development (TRD) brake kits, P/N PTR09-35070, and TRD High-Performance brake kits, P/N PTR09-35100, installed by Toyota vehicle processing centers and sold by Toyota dealers as an optional accessory for model year 2007 through 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser vehicles. The subject TRD brake kit is specifically designed for the front wheels of 2007-2012 model year FJ Cruiser vehicles. Due to the shape of the outer brake tube of the brake kit, the clearance between the outer brake tube and a TRD 16 inch 6-spoke alloy wheel is minimal. If wheel balance weights are installed in an incorrect location, there is a possibility that the outer brake tube could be damaged due to interference with the balance weight, and brake fluid could leak from the damaged tube.
