What is the problem with the Camry?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nOn certain early production 2010 model year Camry vehicles equipped with the 4-cylinder engine, a power steering pressure hose in the engine compartment may be the incorrect length.\u00a0 If this condition exists, a crimp on the power steering pressure hose may come in contact with the No. 7 front brake tube.<\/p>\n<p>Should this condition continue, a hole may wear in the brake tube and deplete the brake fluid in the vehicle.\u00a0 As a result, the brake pedal<br \/>\nstroke will increase and lead to greater vehicle stopping distance.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 2. Which and how many vehicles are involved?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nApproximately 7,300 Camry vehicles in the U.S. are involved.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 3. Are there any warnings that this condition exists?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nNo, there are no specific warnings that this condition exists.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 4. What is Toyota going to do?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nAny Toyota dealer will inspect and, if necessary, adjust the space between the brake tube and the power steering pressure hose crimp.\u00a0 Based upon the inspection results, the dealership may need to replace the brake tube.<\/p>\n<p>The inspection\/adjustment and, if necessary, the brake tube replacement, will be performed at no charge to the vehicle owner.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 5. When will Camry owners be notified?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nToyota will notify owners by mail starting in mid-February 2010.<\/p>\n<p><strong> 6.
