    “This could lead to involuntary low-speed forward movement if the foot brake or parking brake is not applied, that may increase the risk of a collision,” the TMP explained.

    Concerned clients, TMP said, shall be informed via an official notification letter for their vehicles’ automatic transmission ECU to be reprogrammed. The initiative will be free of charge to customers.

    “Involved customers with vehicles included in the service campaign are highly encouraged to immediately set an appointment with any authorized Toyota dealer to perform the necessary reprogramming of the automatic transmission ECU and prevent problems from occurring,” the TMP urged.
