TOYOTA announced a problem with the CELICA, MR2 AND COROLLA affecting a total of 6,936 vehicles.
Due to an improper washing process of a metal part within the brake master cylinder, there is a possibility that the groove for installing the rubber seal ring, which is located at the end of the master cylinder, may be corroded. In this condition, brake fluid may leak from the seal, or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder, which could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance. Vehicles built from 09/01/1999 to 09/01/2000 are at risk.
The following remedial action is necessary to address this problem. Vehicles that are likely to be affected will be checked and a quality assured part fitted if necessary.
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.
