Subject: Safety Recall – A0C Early Production 2010 Model Year Camry Vehicles Equipped with 4 Cylinder (2AR-FE) Engines Brake Tube Inspection and/or Re-positioning

On February 9, 2010, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain early production 2010 Model Year Toyota Camry vehicles equipped with the 4 cylinder (2AR-FE) engines.

Condition:
On 7,314 early production 2010 model year Camry vehicles equipped with the 4 cylinder (2AR-FE) engine, a power steering pressure hose in the engine compartment may be the incorrect length. If this condition exists, a crimp on the power steering pressure hose may come in contact with the No. 7 Front Brake Tube (“brake tube”). Should this condition continue, a hole may wear in the brake tube and deplete the brake fluid in the vehicle. As a result, the brake pedal stroke will increase and lead to greater vehicle stopping distance.

Safety Recall Remedy:
We request Toyota dealers to inspect and if necessary adjust the space between the brake tube and the power steering pressure hose crimp on the affected vehicles. Based upon the inspection results, the brake tube may need to be replaced. The inspection/adjustment and, if necessary, the brake tube replacement, will be performed at NO CHARGE to the vehicle owner.

Owner Notification Letter Mailing Date:
The owner notification will commence in mid-February, 2010.
