Attention owners of 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix models and 2008 and 2009 Scion xD models with a 1.8 liter engine: your vehicle may be part of a voluntary recall by Toyota.

Toyota Motor Sales USA has voluntarily recalled more than 95,000 of these vehicles in 19 states. Owners of these vehicles in the falling states will receive a recall notice in the coming weeks: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

“Toyota has determined that if the vehicle is operated in extremely low ambient temperatures, there is a possibility that condensed moisture from the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) port may seep into the brake system vacuum port and freeze. Should this condition continue, ice may slowly accumulate at the brake system vacuum port and in the extreme case, ultimately plug the vacuum port. As a result of the accumulation of ice, power assist to the brakes would gradually decrease and lead to lengthened vehicle stopping distances.” Source: PR Newswire

For questions, Toyota owners should call (800) 331-4331 and Scion customers should call (866) 707-2466.
