Toyota’s quiet year for major safety missives has been interrupted by a new recall for roughly 84,000 Tundra pickup trucks and NX SUVs from luxury sub-brand Lexus over concerns with the electronic parking brake.
Only model-year 2022 Tundra pickups and NX 250 and NX 350 SUVs are affected. The electronic parking brake for the included population of vehicles may not engage or disengage properly, which could result in a rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
Akin to an April recall that also affected the NX lineup, dealers will update the software of the skid control electronic control unit for free to fix the problem. Owners will be notified by late October. For further information, owners can call Toyota at 800-331-4331, Lexus at 800-255-3987, or visit NHTSA’s website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
