The short version

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the electronic stability control (esc). Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the brake system contains a brake actuator that adjusts the fluid pressure of each wheel cylinder. An electrical component within the actuator may experience an increased resistance resulting in the illumination of various warning lights, including those for the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system, Antilock Brake System (ABS), and Traction Control system.

WHY IT MATTERS

If this occurs, these systems could become inoperative, reducing the directional control assistance, increasing the risk of a crash.

WHAT TO DO

Toyota will notify owners, and Toyota and Lexus dealers will update the software for the Skid Control electronic control unit, free of charge.
