What's wrong, in plain English

Braun Corporation is recalling certain Toyota Sienna mobility van conversions. During the conversion, the brake lines may have had the wrong tube nut fittings installed. These incorrect fittings can allow pressure in the braking system to drop. When brake system pressure drops, it can reduce the braking power available at the rear brakes, making it harder to slow the vehicle down.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a dealer to have an adaptor installed on the brake line fitting; you can also call Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 19V410000.
