Thousands of Idaho Drivers May Be Affected by Major Toyota Recall

When it comes to wintertime driving here in the Pacific Northwest, you just never know what to expect. One day it could be sunny and clear, the next, snowing with horrible road conditions--only to be sunny and clear again just hours later. The unpredictable weather just comes with the territory.

No matter what--you want to be safe on the roads.

A recently announced recall rom Toyota affects some really popular models and nearly 147,000 vehicles.

Let's take a look at the very popular models of Toyota that have been recalled:

If you or someone you know is on the road with these, you're going to want to alert them of the recall. 

Most consumers buy Toyota because of their quality and reliability. A recall this size is a bit rare for the Japanese vehicle manufacturer.

When looking at the recall of the popular Toyota Tacoma, the company says that if mud or dirt builds up, the rear brake hoses can be damaged, resulting in a brake fluid leak. A pretty serous thing for anyone driving a Tacoma. Dealers are going to replace both rear break hoses for free.

When it comes to the Camry & Lexus recalls, the safety concern is with rear seatbelts. These repairs will also be free.
