The 2017 Toyota Tacoma is part of a brake-related recall announced today by Toyota.

Approximately 6,000 2018 Camry and Highlander vehicles and 2017 Sienna, Tacoma and Lexus RX350 vehicles are equipped with a vacuum pump which provides braking assist. A component in the vacuum pump assembly may have been manufactured incorrectly.

A faulty vacuum pump could set-off a warning light, a warning message, an audible tone, and result in the sudden loss of braking assist.  A sudden loss of braking assist while driving could increase the risk of a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the vacuum pump with a new one at no cost to customers.  All known owners of all the involved vehicles will receive a notification by first class mail by late May.

Information about recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time.  For the most up-to-date safety recall information on Toyota, Lexus or Scion vehicles, customers should check their vehicle’s status by visiting toyota.com/recall and enter the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). Safety Recall inquiry by individual VIN is also available at the NHTSA site: nhtsa.gov/recalls.

For any additional questions, customer support is also available by calling the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1.800.331.4331 or the Lexus Guest Experience Center at 1.800.255.3987.
