What Happened
The brake master cylinder is a crucial part of your vehicle's braking system. It's the part that helps you slow down and stop. The reservoir filler cap on your SUV might not be sealing properly, letting air into the system and causing problems.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, you'll notice your brake pedal feels spongy, and it takes more pressure to slow down. This can lead to longer stopping distances, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your local Toyota dealership will bleed the brake lines to remove the air, then replace the faulty reservoir filler cap with a new one, all for free. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice and it'll be taken care of promptly.
