Toyota () Verso: Rear Brake Pipe Concern

Toyota is recalling 98,940 Verso and Yaris vehicles in the UK because snow and ice can build up on the wheel disc in cold, stop-start driving conditions and potentially strike the rear brake pipe, damaging it. A damaged brake pipe could result in reduced braking performance or hydraulic fluid leaks. Toyota will fit a modified and re-routed brake pipe to correct the issue.
