Lexus in the affected vehicles, the switch that senses the amount of pressure that the driver is applying to the brake pedal may fail.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the service brakes, hydraulic pedals and linkages. Here is what owners need to know.
In the affected vehicles, the switch that senses the amount of pressure that the driver is applying to the brake pedal may fail.
If the switch fails, the vehicle may begin braking without the driver's input, and without illuminating the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the brake pedal support assembly which includes the brake pedal load sensing switch, free of charge.
