Filing in context
This is the only filing in the archive that cites the Pressure Control and Transfer Components as the affected component. This filing is one of 10 Toyota notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 114 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 6 months.
Defect
In the brake system, the rear brake pipes are improperly routed. When a vehicle is driven repeatedly through fresh snow in extreme cold with frequent starts and stops, large quantities of snow accumulate and freeze inside the disc wheels, contacting the brake pipes. If this condition recurs repeatedly, the pipes may sustain damage, in the worst case causing brake fluid to leak and brake force to decrease.
Corrective action
Replace the rear brake pipes on all vehicles with corrected parts.
