What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2012 and 2013 Toyota Tacoma and Lexus RX350 vehicles, as well as certain 2012 Toyota RAV4 vehicles due to a potential issue with the brake actuator. An electrical component within the brake actuator may experience increased resistance, which could cause warning lights to illuminate for the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, Antilock Brake System (ABS), and Traction Control system. If this occurs, the Electronic Stability Control systems could become inoperative, which would reduce directional control assistance and increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota will notify owners of the recall, and Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the software for the Skid Control electronic control unit at no charge. The recall began on March 28, 2014. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
