According to the company’s official statement regarding the recall the site quoted:

“𝑊𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑏𝑟𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑖𝑛𝑣𝑜𝑙𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑒ℎ𝑖𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑠 [Hilulx, Fortuner], 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑛𝑔𝑡ℎ 𝑜𝑓 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑛 𝑝𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑛 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑑𝑒 𝑑𝑢𝑒 𝑡𝑜 𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟 𝑚𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 𝑑𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑢𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛,”

It continues:

“As this is a global recall by Toyota and as Toyota Indus imports parts for local assembly of vehicles [Hilux, Fortuner], certain brake boosters are also automatically affected by this recall which might have been installed already.

“Toyota Indus has started a service campaign and at this time its more of a cautionary message to the affected vehicle owners. As per Toyota Indus, the replacement parts are being imported at this time, and as soon as it arrives, the vehicle owners will be reached out for inspection and replacement. As this is a recall, the part will be replaced free of cost, regardless of your vehicle’s warranty status.”

Owners of Hilux vehicles built between July 16, 2018 and Oct. 8, 2019 and Fortuner vehicles produced between Aug. 8, 2018 and Feb. 21, 2019 should drive cautiously, paying close attention to the braking action.

Should any abnormalities be noticed, the owners are advised to immediately contact their dealer.
