Toyota stomps on the Sienna recall

Because of the position of the brake light switch bracket to the parking brake pedal, the Sienna recall had to occur, states Toyota. The brake switch light might malfunction and bend when the parking brake comes into physical contact with it when fully deployed. Specifically, the brake lights can remain on even if the brakes aren’t being deployed, and if the damage is significant sufficient, Toyota indicates that the brakes could really become partially engaged because of the warped bracket. Then brake drag can occur, which can eventually impair overall braking performance.

The brake light switch bracket issue has not caused any accidents that Toyota is aware of yet. It’s possible that at any time, the issue could possibly be an issue with impaired breaking.
