Toyota Motor Recall

(Reuters) – Toyota Motor (NYSE:TM) Corp is recalling over 42,000 U.S. vehicles due to loss of power brake assist that can extend the distance required to stop, as announced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday.

Affected Vehicles

The recall impacts certain 2023-2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid vehicles. The agency identified a software error in the electronic control unit responsible for vehicle management during skidding, potentially resulting in a loss of braking assistance when turning.

Safety Risks

A loss of power brake assist increases the stopping distance of the vehicle, raising the risk of a crash.
