Toyota brake fluid level sensor may not be connected to the wire harness, preventing the sensor from detecting the brake fluid level.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the electrical system wiring. Here is what owners need to know.
The brake fluid level sensor may not be connected to the wire harness, preventing the sensor from detecting the brake fluid level. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No.
If the brake fluid level is low and is not detected, the braking performance may be decreased, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, connect the wire harness to the sensor, free of charge.
