Recall 15V-728: Forward Collision Avoidance

Reported Nov 3, 2015 · 30,812 vehicles affected · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Problem: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid vehicles manufactured October 19, 2012 to October 27, 2015 and 2013-2015 Lexus ES350 and ES300h vehicles manufactured June 18, 2012 to July 6, 2015. The affected vehicles are equipped with a Pre-Collision System (PCS) as optional equipment. In these vehicles, the PCS may unexpectedly activate and apply the brakes when the radar detects a steel joint or plate in the roadway as an object.

Risk: A vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash.

Fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace certain PCS components, free of charge. The recall began on July 28, 2016. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this campaign are F1V and F2E.

I AM the owner of a lexus whose engine wires are soy based. 4 weeks ago my car was totally "dead" and I had it towed to the dealer who told me rodents ate the wires.the cost to repair the wires was $977.00 plus the cost of towing. This is negligence on the part of lexus and a highway danger to all.I feel it is the responsibility of your organization to recall all cars that have soy based wires which is an extreme safety hazard for all on the road and have lexus replace my wires with non soy wires and reimburse me for all costs of this situation.
