What's wrong, in plain English

In these vehicles, a computer that controls the brakes may wrongly detect a problem with the electronic parking brake system. When this happens, the computer switches into a protective mode that blocks the electronic parking brake from being engaged. This means that while the vehicle is in park, the parking brake may not actually be holding it in place. Dealers will reprogram this brake computer so it stops making this false detection, at no charge to the owner.

What you should do

1. Check your vehicle's VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if it's affected.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer, or call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, to schedule the repair.
3. The brake computer will be reprogrammed free of charge.
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 22V661000.

Summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022 Lexus NX250, NX350, and Toyota Tundra vehicles. The Skid Control ECU within the Brake Actuator Assembly may falsely detect an overcurrent condition of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator and enter a failsafe mode which prevents the EPB from being engaged. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Safety risk
An electronic parking brake that cannot be engaged while in "park," may result in a vehicle rollaway, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will reprogram the Skid Control ECU, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 1, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 22TA11 and 22LA04.
