Defect Summary:
It is possible for the bolt(s) to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening during the assembly process.Consequence Summary: If the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, one or more of the four bolts could come loose, causing an abnormal noise from the rear axle area. In the event that all four bolts loosen completely, separation of the rear brake and hub assembly from the rear axle carrier could occur, which, in the worst case, could lead to a loss of vehicle control.Corrective Summary: Dealers will properly tighten the bolts. Owner notification is expected to begin during April 2002. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. |
