• 01V326000Oct 10, 200142,198 vehicles potentially affected
  Service brakes, hydraulic › Power assist › Vacuum
  Covers: Toyota Echo 2000

  Reported issue: Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission.

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.
