Plain-English summary

Toyota is recalling certain 2022 Lexus NX250, NX350, and Toyota Tundra vehicles due to a defect in the Skid Control ECU within the Brake Actuator Assembly.

The affected electronic parking brake systems may fail to engage because the Skid Control ECU may falsely detect an overcurrent condition in the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator. When this occurs, the ECU enters a failsafe mode that prevents the EPB from being engaged. These vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135 for brake systems.

An electronic parking brake that cannot be engaged while parked can result in vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will reprogram the Skid Control ECU at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on November 1, 2022. Owners should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 for information or to schedule service. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
