Embattled automaker
Toyota is staring down another massive recall. The safety action affects 1.53 million Toyota and
Lexus vehicles globally, with the U.S. making up around 740,000 of that total and about 600,000 units coming out of the company's home market of Japan.
Stateside, models covered under the recall may have a faulty master cylinder seal in the braking system that could leak fluid, triggering a warning lamp and/or potentially resulting in reduced braking capability. Toyota models covered under the recall include the 2005-2006
Avalon and 2004-2006
Highlander (non-hybrid only), while Lexus service bays will open their doors for 2006 model year
GS,
IS and
RX cars and crossovers.
In all, Toyota has called back over 10 million vehicles this year, with the most recent action being the
Corolla/
Matrix ECU recall that covered 1.1 million cars.
Thanks to everyone for the tips.
