Recall Alert: 2011 Toyota Sienna

When full brake force is applied, the wiring that controls the rear brake lamps could become deformed because of its close proximity to the pedal. Depending on the amount of deformation, the brake lights could remain on or the brakes could stay partially engaged, causing increased brake wear.

Toyota will contact affected owners in mid-January to explain the situation and provide tips on how to avert this issue. In mid-February, Toyota dealers will begin repairing the bracket assembly that houses the brake light signals. The repair will be done for free.

Owners can contact Toyota at 800-331-4331 for more information.
