What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2016 Highlander vehicles manufactured between May 26, 2016, and September 16, 2016, because the brake fluid level sensor may not be connected to its wire harness. This connection problem prevents the sensor from detecting when brake fluid is low, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota dealers will inspect affected vehicles and reconnect the wire harness to the sensor at no charge. The recall began November 14, 2016. Owners should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 to arrange service for their vehicles.
