Toyota () Corolla: Brake Pedal Stroke May Increase
Recall Summary Toyota is recalling 4,025 Corolla vehicles sold in the United Kingdom because certain brake master cylinder reservoir caps have blocked air vents. Over time, this blockage can create a vacuum in the reservoir as brake pads wear, which may cause the brake pedal to require more pressure or travel distance to engage the brakes. The fix involves replacing the faulty reservoir cap.
