Toyota affected vehicles are equipped with a foot-operated parking brake system that has a parking brake cable that may disengage.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the parking brake. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles are equipped with a foot-operated parking brake system that has a parking brake cable that may disengage.
If the parking brake cable disengages from the mechanism and the transmission is left in a gear other than 'Park' while the ignition is on and the driver leaves the vehicle, the vehicle may roll unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install a clip at the parking brake cable end to prevent the cable from disengaging, free of charge.
