Toyota has initiated a recall for certain model year 2022 Lexus NX250, NX350, and Toyota Tundra vehicles over concerns they may have been outfitted with defective electronic parking brakes.Â
The recall was initiated after Toyota discovered that the Skid Control ECU inside of the vehicles’ Brake Actuator Assembly may incorrectly detect an overcurrent of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator.Â
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) says incorrectly detecting an overcurrent of the vehicles’ EPB can prevent it from being able to engage, resulting in the vehicle rolling away and increasing the risk of a crash.Â
Recalled Toyota, Lexus vehicles not in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards
The issue causes the recalled Toyota and Lexus vehicles from being in compliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards, according to the Toyota recall.Â
Toyota dealers will attempt to remedy the issue by reprogramming the vehicles’ Skid Control ECU free of charge, according to the Toyota recall.Â
Recall notification letters are expected to be mailed out to vehicle owners by Oct. 31, according to the NHTSA.Â
Drivers who want more information about the recall can contact Toyota by phone at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA at 1-888-327-4236.Â
In July, Toyota announced it was recalling more than 75,000 of its model year 2022-2023 Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks over concerns they contained defective upper child seat anchors that could fail in the event of an accident.Â

3 thoughts onToyota recall announced for Lexus, Tundra vehicles due to parking brake defect
Same noise on my RX 450hL. Service advisor told me it cost $3800 or you can keep driving as there are no safety concerns.
I have a 2019 Lexus RX450h that kept having brake actuator problem and Lexus have changed twice but didn’t fix the problem and kept happening. My concern are there many car owners having same issues and possibly causing accidents?
