[Resolved]  Toyota — 2011 Toyota Sienna recall for brake light problems

A new Toyota recall has surfaced, and this time it involves yet another new model. The high-profile automaker is recalling approximately 94,000 2011 Toyota Sienna’s due to a potentially significant issue involving the brake light switch bracket near the parking brake pedal. The cars impacted by the Sienna recall were manufactured before Nov 2010. Toyota Motors has had enough recalls to require them to get a large cash til payday to repair the issues.

Toyota described in a press release that the brake light switch bracket is positioned wrong in relation to the parking brake pedal. This is why the Sienna recall had to happen. The parking brake can come into contact with the brake light switch physically when fully deployed. This can cause the switch to malfunction possibly with bending. Toyota described the brakes could become engaged due to the warped bracket if the damage is sufficient as the brake lights sometimes stay on even if the brakes are not going. Later, brake drag can take place. This can cause brakes to be impaired completely.



The brake light switch bracket problem hasn’t brought on any accidents that Toyota is aware of yet. It is possible that at any time, the issue might be an issue with impaired breaking.


Any Toyota Sienna drivers will get first class postal mail sent to them as notification. The middle of January, 2011, is when Toyota plans to start sending this mail. The letter will explain what Sienna drivers should do. It will include instructions. The recall section of Toyota’s site will also have this details on it.



Details on how to replace parts for the brake light switching bracket will be sent in Late February. Sienna owners ought to expect first class mail with this too. Also, Sienna owners can be expected to go to the nearest Toyota dealer for an installation appointment. Users will not be charged for the service done to their vehicle. Considering the parking brake position, a new switching bracket will be installed.
