Toyota Recalls Certain 2016 Model Year RAV4 and Lexus RX and ES Vehicles

TORONTO, ON., April 6, 2016 – Toyota Canada Inc. today announced that it is recalling approximately 858 Model Year 2016 Toyota RAV4; approximately 9 Model Year 2016 RX350; and approximately 319 Model Year 2016 ES350.

The involved vehicles are equipped with a Brake Actuator assembly that enables enhanced brake control functions including the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Traction Control (TRAC), and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), among others. There is a possibility that a component inside the actuator could have been damaged during manufacturing, preventing the actuator from operating properly. This could cause a loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of crash.

All known owners of the affected Toyota and Lexus vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Toyota and Lexus dealers will check the serial number of the Brake Actuator and replace actuators assembled during a specific production period.
