  Recall date: 03/18/2013

• Recall name: EQUIPMENT

  Recall number: 12E046000

  Recall date: 10/22/2012

  Problem Summary: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT (TRD) BRAKE KITS, P/N PTR09-35070, AND TRD HIGH-PERFORMANCE BRAKE KITS, P/N PTR09-35100, INSTALLED BY TOYOTA VEHICLE PROCESSING CENTERS AND SOLD BY TOYOTA DEALERS AS AN OPTIONAL ACCESSORY FOR MODEL YEAR 2007 THROUGH 2012 TOYOTA FJ CRUISER VEHICLES. THE SUBJECT TRD BRAKE KIT IS SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE FRONT WHEELS OF 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR FJ CRUISER VEHICLES. DUE TO THE SHAPE OF THE OUTER BRAKE TUBE OF THE BRAKE KIT, THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE OUTER BRAKE TUBE AND A TRD 16 INCH 6-SPOKE ALLOY WHEEL IS MINIMAL. IF WHEEL BALANCE WEIGHTS ARE INSTALLED IN AN INCORRECT LOCATION, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE OUTER BRAKE TUBE COULD BE DAMAGED DUE TO INTERFERENCE WITH THE BALANCE WEIGHT, AND BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAK FROM THE DAMAGED TUBE.

  Consequence: IF A BRAKE TUBE BECOMES DAMAGED AND LEAKS FLUID, IT MAY RESULT IN INCREASED STOPPING DISTANCES, AND IN SOME CASES, LOSS OF VEHICLE FRONT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, WHICH COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.

  Corrective Action: ALL KNOWN OWNERS OF 2007-2012 MODEL YEAR FJ CRUISER VEHICLES WILL BE NOTIFIED BY FIRST CLASS MAIL. IF THE VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ONE OF THE TRD BRAKE KITS, THE BRAKE CALIPER OUTER BRAKE TUBE WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEWLY DESIGNED ONE AT NO CHARGE. DURING THIS SERVICE, IF NECESSARY, THE DEALER WILL MAKE WHEEL BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS. THIS REMEDY WILL BE PERFORMED EVEN IF THE VEHICLE HAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT 16 INCH OR 17 INCH WHEELS OR TRD 16 INCH BEADLOCK RING TYPE WHEELS, WHICH ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THE CONDITION, TO ASSURE SUFFICIENT CLEARANCE IN THE EVENT WHEELS ARE CHANGED AT A LATER TIME. NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS WILL BEGIN IN MID-NOVEMBER 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AT 1-800-331-4331.

• Recall name: TIRES:PRESSURE MONITORING AND REGULATING SYSTEMS

  Recall number: 11V148000

  Recall date: 03/04/2011

  Problem Summary: TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2011 FJ CRUISER, LAND CRUISER, TACOMA, SEQUOIA AND TUNDRA VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)." WHEN FACTORY-INSTALLED WHEELS AND TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH TOYOTA AUTHORIZED ACCESSORY WHEELS AND LT TIRES PRIOR TO FIRST SALE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS WERE NOT RE-CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AND THEREFORE DO NOT START ILLUMINATING THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING TELLTALE AT THE REQUIRED MINIMUM ACTIVATION PRESSURE.

  Consequence: FAILURE TO WARN OF TIRE DEFLATIONS IS A NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 138 AND COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

  Corrective Action: FOR THE LAND CRUISER, SEQUOIA, TACOMA AND TUNDRA VEHICLES, THE DEALER WILL RE-CALIBRATE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON AFFECTED VEHICLES AND INSTALL AN UPDATED TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABEL AT NO CHARGE. FOR THE FJ CRUISER VEHICLES, THE TPMS CANNOT BE RESET SO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FOR THE TPMS WILL BE REPLACED. TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING THE REMEDY ECU. IF AN OWNER IS NOT CERTAIN WHETHER HIS OR HER VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THESE ACCESSORIES, PLEASE CONTACT ANY TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AT NO CHARGE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.
