Vehicles Affected: Approximately 7,100 model-year 2016 Toyota Highlander SUVs
The Problem: The wire harness that attaches to the brake fluid reservoir sensor may not have been connected during vehicle assembly; this could result in the warning light failing to indicate a drop in the vehicle’s brake fluid level, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will check to ensure the brake fluid level sensor wire harness is properly connected and connect it if necessary for free.
What Owners Should Do:Toyota will begin notifying owners in early November. Owners can call the automaker at 800-331-4331 for more info.
