Toyota Camry pump failure can cut brake power assist

NHTSA campaign 21V890000 · Reported 2021-11-17 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious, because the loss of braking help comes on suddenly and can cause a crash; the notice does not tell owners to park the car, but do not put this repair off.

What's wrong, in plain English

These Camrys use a pump that makes the brake pedal easier to push. A small part inside the pump can break, and the pump can then stop working. When that happens you suddenly lose the power help behind the pedal, so braking takes much more effort from your foot and the car needs more room to stop. That can lead to a crash. A dealer will repair or replace the pump for free. Owner letters were mailed in May 2022.
