Just when Toyota thought it was out of the recall jungle, the (faulty) break lights started flashing. The snake bitten automaker has announced a 94,000-strong recall of 2011 Toyota Sienna cars because of issues with the brake light switching bracket. The autos impacted by the Sienna recall were manufactured before November 2010. Toyota Motors has had enough recalls to require them to get a large cash loan to repair the issues.

Toyota speaks all about Sienna recall
Because of the position of the brake light switch bracket to the parking brake pedal, the Sienna recall had to happen, claims Toyota. The brake switch light may 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 are not being deployed, and if the damage is significant sufficient, Toyota indicates that the brakes could really become partially engaged because of the warped bracket. Later, brake drag can occur. This can trigger brakes to be impaired completely.
The brake light switch bracket issue hasn’t caused any accidents that Toyota is aware of yet. It is possible that at any time, the issue might be an issue with impaired breaking.
Mail used to get in touch with 2011 Toyota Sienna users
Any Toyota Sienna drivers will get first class mail sent to them as notification. The middle of Jan, 2011, is when Toyota plans to start sending this mail. The letter will explain what Sienna drivers should do. It will include instructions. The recall section of Toyota’s site will even have this data on it.
Data on how to replace parts for the brake light switching bracket will be sent in Late February. Sienna users ought to expect first class mail with this too. Also, Sienna owners will be expected to go to the nearest Toyota dealer for an installation appointment. At the appointment, a switching bracket could be installed that considers the parking brake pedal position which will come at no charge.
Toyota available for calls
