Toyota Tundra electronic parking brake may not engage

NHTSA campaign 22V661000 · Reported 2022-09-01 · Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

high How serious is it? About this label

Fairly serious — you can keep driving, but a truck that rolls away while parked can cause a crash, so use extra care where you park until it is repaired.

What's wrong, in plain English

A control unit that manages the brakes on these 2022 Toyota Tundras can wrongly decide the electronic parking brake is drawing too much electricity. When that happens, it shuts the parking brake down as a precaution and you cannot set it, even with the truck in park. With nothing holding the truck in place, it could roll away on its own. A dealer will reload the control unit with corrected software at no charge.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is affected. 2. Call your Toyota dealer, or Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 (recall 22TA11), to book the software update. 3. Have the update done — it is free.

Official notice

Component: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
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.

Verify your specific vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov. Recall repairs are free of charge by law.
