Toyota and its Lexus luxury division have recalled 70 vehicles because their front brake calipers and wheel hub bearings may be loose.
Recalled models include some, but not all, examples of the:
- 2024 Toyota RAV4
- 2025 Lexus NX
Toyota tells federal safety officials at the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that mounting bolts holding the front brake calipers and hub bearings on may not have been tightened properly at the factory. They may loosen over time, which can cause the caliber brake hose to break, leak brake fluid, and lessen the brakes’ effect.
It could also cause a front wheel to separate.
Owners might notice a rattling noise as the problem develops, Toyota says.
Dealers will fix the problem by tightening the bolts to the proper specification.
Automakers recall many cars to fix safety defects, sometimes more than once. While automakers try to reach every owner to ask them to bring the vehicle in for repair, they rarely reach them all. Millions of vehicles on American roads need free recall repairs. To find out if your car is one of them, check the easy VIN tool at our recall center.
