This filing is one of 24 Toyota notifications from 2017 in this archive. For scale, 2,252 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 8 months.
Defect
On four-wheel-drive vehicles equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control system (VSC), the brake control program is incorrect, preventing accurate vehicle speed calculation during wheel spin. This causes the system to apply unintended brake force levels. As a result, when the brake is applied during wheel spin on snow-covered roads or similar surfaces, stopping distance may increase.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, the brake control program is updated to the corrected specification.
