Recall Alert: 2016 Toyota RAV4 and 2016 Lexus RX 350, ES 350

CARS.COM

Vehicles Affected: Approximately 4,000 model-year 2016 Toyota RAV4 SUVs, 90 model-year 2016 RX 350 SUVs and 12,000 model-year 2016 ES 350 sedans

The Problem: The affected vehicles have a potential issue with the  brake actuator assembly that enables enhanced brake control functions including the anti-lock braking, traction control and vehicle stability control systems. A component inside the actuator could have been damaged during manufacturing and could prevent the actuator from operating properly. This could cause a loss of vehicle stability control, increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will inspect the serial number of the Brake Actuator and replace actuators assembled during a certain production period.

What Owners Should Do: Toyota has not yet announced an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Toyota at 800-331-4331, Lexus at 800-255-3987, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov, for more info.
