2000 Toyota Celica & 2000 Toyota Echo recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles have the possibility that the recess retains a rubber seal ring, which is located at the end of the cylinder body, and may be corroded due to an improper washing process.
💥 The risk
In this condition, brake fluid may leak from the seal, or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder, which could lead to an increase of vehicle stopping distance.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect the brake master cylinder and, if necessary, replace the brake master cylinder and booster. The recall began on november 29, 2004. Owners should contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
