Recall 09V-338: 2008–2009 Scion XD, 2009–2010 Toyota Corolla and 1 more
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for service brakes, hydraulic, reported to NHTSA on Aug 27, 2009, covering about 95,705 vehicles.
The problem
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 scion xd and my 2009-2010 corolla, and corolla matrix vehicles equipped with 1.8l engine and originally sold in or currently registered in the states of alaska, colorado, idaho, illinois, iowa, kansas, maine, michigan, minnesota, montana, nebraska, nevada, new hampshire, new york, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, wisconsin, and wyoming. When driving under certain unique conditions in extremely low ambient temperatures, the intake manifold suction port for the brake vacuum can become blocked due to the freezing of condensation resulting from positive crankcase ventilation.
The risk
This could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance and a crash could occur.
The fix
Dealers will install a newly designed intake air connector which will relocate the brake system vacuum port. This service will be performed free of charge. The recall began on september 21, 2009. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
