What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2016 RAV4, 2016 Lexus RX350, and 2016 Lexus ES350 vehicles manufactured between September 2015 and February 2016. These vehicles have an ABS actuator with a potentially damaged O-ring that may cause improper brake fluid pressure control when the anti-lock braking, traction control, or stability control systems activate, which could result in loss of vehicle control and increase crash risk.

Toyota will notify owners and dealers will inspect and replace the brake actuator as necessary at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 to arrange service. The recall number is G0I, GLC.
