What this recall means for you
Electrical interference in the power supply circuit can cause the electronic stability control system to be deactivated. Without stability control working, the vehicle may not correct skids or loss of traction as intended, which can increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions.
Toyota will notify owners, and authorized dealers will update the vehicle's software at no cost. This recall was superseded by recall 18V-685, whose software remedy includes the updates from this earlier recall, so owners should check their VIN for any open recalls and contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 with questions.
