Toyota 2010 Camry Recall: Braking Problems
February 16, 2010 | Author: TSR Injury Law
Toyota Motor North America, Inc. issued a recall February 9th on 2010 models of the popular Toyota Camry due to defective design that could affect the braking system. The power steering hose is too short, allowing it to rub on the brake tube — potentially perforating the brake tube. If the brake tube is perforated, it will allow brake fluid to leak and impact braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
NHTSA ID Number: 10V040000
Potential Number of Vehicles Affected: 7314
Toyota will notify owners and dealers will replace or adjust the brake tube at no charge, if it is necessary. The recall should begin during March 2010. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle safety hotline, 1-888-327-4236 (TYY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.safercar.gov.
