2010 Toyota Camry recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2010 camrys. The length of the power steering pressure hose on vehicles equipped with the 4-CYLINDER (2AR-FE) engine may be insufficient, such that the gap between the crimp on the pressure hose and the brake tube for the left rear brake may be insufficient. Under these circumstances the brake tube may interfere with the crimp and may wear and then perforate.
💥 The risk
A brake tube perforation may result in brake fluid leakage. A leak in brake fluid may impact braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Toyota will notify owners and, if necessary, dealers will replace or adjust the brake tube free of charge. The safety recall began on march 4, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
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.)
