Toyota issued a recall on more than 227,000 Camry sedans, and this was announced this week. It was reported that the Japanese carmaker cited problems with the said car model's brake-assist systems.
Toyota's recall on the Camrys affects the units from the 2018 to 2019 model years. The recalled vehicles cover those that were sold in the United States.
According to Fox Business, the Toyota Camrys' brake assist systems may fail to function, and this may increase the risk of accidents. The automaker said that some of the parts in the
Vehicles' power assist system could break too soon, and this will cause issues and lead to mishaps. The said system is activated every time the driver steps on the brake pedal.
Toyota further said that while the brakes will still work even if the assist system wears away, the probability of a crash is heightened. Apparently, the situation is risky and should be addressed as soon as possible.
The company said that owners of the affected Camry models would receive a recall notification from them. Authorized Toyota dealers will check the vacuum pump on the brake-assist system, and they will decide whether to repair or replace it. The repair or replacement works will be fully free for customers.
Toyota stated in a press release that the "involved vehicles have a system that provides power brake assist when the driver depresses the brake pedal. Specific components in a part of this system can prematurely wear and could lead to a sudden loss of power braking assist."
The automaker further stated in its recall announcement, "Non-power assisted braking will remain functional, however, a sudden loss of power braking assist while driving could increase the risk of a crash."
Owners of Camrys may check if their car unit is included in the recall by checking out the Toyota.com/recall website and entering their vehicle's license plate number and the state it was issued. They can also simply enter the 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) number.
Meanwhile, Toyota will start sending notifications to owners by mid-January of next year. They will be provided with more details, including where to bring their units for assessment.
