Passenger car (Toyota Auto Body COMS) - Repair

An official CAA Japan notice concerns Passenger car (Toyota Auto Body COMS) - Repair. Defect in the braking system (parking brake). ■ Defective component: Braking system (parking brake). ■ Structural, equipment or performance condition deemed noncompliant with standards and its cause: In the parking brake lever: ① Due to inadequate manufacturing controls for the pawl, some pawls have insufficient hardness, and a strong impact to the lever may break the tip of the pawl. Continued use in this condition may cause the pawl to wear, preventing the lever from remaining engaged even when pulled up. ② Due to inadequate manufacturing controls for the cable guide bracket, some brackets have insufficient welding. Repeated operation of the parking brake may therefore cause the bracket weld to separate, allowing the parking brake cable to slip inward and increasing the lever travel. Consequently, in the worst case, the parking brake may cease to function and the vehicle may start moving. Published 2026-07-15.
What to do now
(Recall notification number) 5848 ■ Corrective measures: On all vehicles, replace the parking brake lever with a conforming part, and replace the parking brake cable and parking brake bracket with new parts. If a spacer is fitted to the cable, remove the spacer.
