According to a Toyota press release from October 20, 2010, a defect regarding a slow leak of brake fluid and potentially a fuel pump problem has resulted in the voluntary recall of 1.53 million cars. This newest recall will bring the total of recalled vehicles (by the Toyota brand) for the year of 2010 to approximately 10 million. The majority of consumers that are said to be affected are in the U.S. and Japan, with a smaller portion in Europe.
Paul Nolasco, spokesman in Tokyo, said “The majority of vehicles this time around need to be fixed for a problem with the brake master cylinder, which could lead to weaker braking power” in an article on WBZtv.com. The official press release also states however, that owners of the affected vehicles (click here to see make/model/year info) will be able to visit their local Toyota and Lexus dealers for repairs/replacements to the brake master cylinder cup free of charge.
