Toyota recalls the actuator, but mine is out of the recall due to 10 years limit. Is the replacement with the used actuator at risk?

In all, about 87, vehicles are impacted, including Toyota Prius hatchbacks and Lexus HS h hybrids sold during the model-year. The maker does not say how many of each model are covered by the recall. The problem is the result of a brake pressure accumulator that may develop a fatigue crack due to vibration. That would lead to the loss of at least some brake pressure. Toyota said it has received no reports of accidents or injuries related to the problem. The incident follows an earlier recall of some fourth-generation Toyota Prius models due to problems with electronic brake software programming. That earlier problem could create a sense that the brakes would briefly release during an aggressive stop, according to owners who first reported that earlier problem on TheDetroitBureau. While the Toyota Prius has faced a few safety-related issues over its more than a dozen years on sale in the U. It is also one of its better selling models — and the most popular hybrid in the world. In the U. So, the recall comes as a bit of an embarrassment. Toyota plans to notify owners of both hybrid models directly in the weeks to come. It will ask them to visit dealers for an inspection and, if necessary, a replacement brake actuator will be installed at no charge. Prius owners can immediately find out more, meanwhile, by visiting www.

There were zero warning signs of the problem prior to the incident.

ABS warning light came on, followed soon by a beeping warning sound. Hope this helps. The brake fluid was completely FULL. If anything happens, I will seek legal action. Toyota plans to notify owners of both hybrid models directly in the weeks to come. Check this out on YouTube or Google. They got the dash lights off. The contact stated while driving 50 MPH, the check engine, service brakes, ABS, and the traction control system warning lights were illuminated. The problem has been reported by a Toyota dealership in California. I had several lights go on in the dashboard, and the dealership is telling me I need a new brake actuator. They said the complete brake Master Cyclinder and Brake Pump replacement was required.

Toyota plans to notify owners of both hybrid models directly in the weeks to come. I was unaware of this 5 years ago. I even paid to "fix" the problem. This could cause a serious accident and should be fixed at Toyota's expense! I can't believe a company as big as Toyota wont take responsibility. Tags: actuator. By Paul A. Share This Page. It makes noises sometimes during harder brake applications, especially at low speed like when coming to a stop and then applying extra brake pressure just before stopping. It is very unfortunate that the brake booster extended warranty was declined by Tustin of Toyota specially after having my vehicle in their hands for another recall when the warranty was active. Is it possible to replace with the actuator of another generation Prius?
