Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Owners describe brake pedal being pressed hard with little or no stopping response, resulting in collisions at low speeds.
- Some report sudden unintended acceleration combined with brake failure, where the vehicle would not stop despite full brake pressure.
- Several describe a loose bolt securing the brake hose to the caliper, which allowed fluid to leak and caused brake failure.
- Owners note that airbags failed to deploy and seatbelts failed to restrain occupants during crashes linked to brake failure.
- One owner reported the car shook and continued moving when the brake pedal was fully depressed, despite a prior recall repair for leaking brake fluid that was never completed.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2010 camrys. The length of the power steering pressure hose on vehicles equipped with the 4-cylinder (2ar-fe) engine may be insufficient, such that the gap between the crimp on the pressure hose and the brake tube for the left rear brake may be insufficient. Under these circumstances the brake tube may interfere with the crimp and may wear and then perforate.
Risk: A brake tube perforation may result in brake fluid leakage. A leak in brake fluid may impact braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners and, if necessary, dealers will replace or adjust the brake tube free of charge. The safety recall began on march 4, 2010. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
