VSC warning light may illuminate and the system stop working
TOYOTA announced a problem with the AVENSIS affecting a total of 321 vehicles.
In rare cases the VSC (vehicle Stability Control) warning light may illuminate and the system stop working due to the Yaw rate sensor becoming disconnected internally. In even rarer cases, the VSC may not function correctly even if the VSC light is not illuminated (partial disconnection). In these circumstances, the VSC will not function. The VSC helps to prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of a strong front wheel skid or a strong rear wheel skid during cornering. The normal braking system is unaffected. Vehicles built from 06/25/2004 to 07/07/2004 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Recall vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect. If necessary replace the Yaw rate sensor.
If you think that your vehicle may be affected by this recall you should
find your nearest TOYOTA dealer
who will be able to confirm whether or not your car is safe and arrange its free repair if necessary.
