Toyota recalls 95,700
Toyota, Scion vehicles
YAHOO NEWS -- August
27, 2009 -- Toyota Motor Corp. said
Wednesday it is launching a recall of
roughly 95,700 Toyota and Scion-brand
vehicles in the U.S. due to a possible brake
malfunction.
The recall affects some 2009 and 2010 Toyota
Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles and some
2008 and 2009 Scion xD vehicles, Toyota
said. For those vehicles equipped with
1.8-liter engines, condensed moisture may
seep into the brake system and freeze in low
temperatures, potentially causing ice
accumulation and weakening the power-assist
to the brakes.
Those affected by the recall will be asked
to return the vehicle to a dealer, where a
new intake air connector will be installed.
Customers will not be charged for the
hour-long procedure, Toyota said.
Toyota said vehicle owners from 19 states
will receive recall notices in early
September. They are: Alaska, Colorado,
Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine,
Michigan, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New York, North
Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin
and Wyoming.
