Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Master Cylinder
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain passenger vehicles have the possibility that the recess retains a rubber seal ring, which is located at the end of the cylinder body, and may be corroded due to an improper washing process.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
In this condition, brake fluid may leak from the seal, or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder, which could lead to an increase of vehicle stopping distance.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record

01V326000Received . 42,198 units.
Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Power Assist / Vacuum
- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles equipped with an automatic transmission. Due to a unique combination of conditions which consist of cold ambient temperatures, load applied from air conditioner and other electrical devices, and immediately after starting the engine, there is a possibility that the vacuum in the intake manifold could be insufficient for the brake booster.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
When the brake is applied under this combination of conditions, vacuum assist to the brakes would decrease, and the increased pedal pressure required could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the brake booster and front brake pads. Owner notification began october 29, 2001. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

- Defect, in the NHTSA record
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the states of alaska, colorado, idaho, illinois, iowa, kansas, maine, michigan, minnesota, montana, nebraska, nevada, new hampshire, new york, north dakota, south dakota, vermont, wisconsin, and wyoming. Condensed moisture from the positive crankcase ventilation (pcv) port could seep toward the brake vacuum port inside the intake manifold and start to freeze.
- Consequence, in the NHTSA record
Vacuum assist to the brakes would be decreased and increased pedal pressure would be required, increasing the vehicle stopping distance.
- Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will repair the vacuum port. Also, owners of the subject vehicles in states other than the recall states will be notified of the recall. If the echo owner believes that there is a possibility that the vehicle will be operated in these states during the winter or in conditions described, the vehicle should be serviced for this recall.
