The recall affects some 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles and some 2008 and 2009 Scion xD vehicles, Toyota said. For those vehicles equipped with 1.8-liter engines, condensed moisture may seep into the brake system and freeze in low temperatures, potentially causing ice accumulation and weakening the power-assist to the brakes.

Those affected by the recall will be asked to return the vehicle to a dealer, where a new intake air connector will be installed. Customers will not be charged for the hour-long procedure, Toyota said.

Toyota said vehicle owners from 19 states will receive recall notices in early September. They are: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.

    just the Corollas, Matrices and xDs are affected, I verified this with my dealer, he ran my VIN (I have an '08 Tc) and no recall. So we are cool...for now! LOL!

    reat the post! lol seriously it says "some" 2008 and 2009 xD's!!! If you are not sure if you are one of those owners, see your local dealership. If you do not see tC or xB or any other size engine other than the 1.8L, then you have nothing to worry about. Wow, this is like being a 6'4 280 lb man and looking at a vitoria's secret to see if a sale pertains to you.

    It says the toyota 1.8 liter engines - tC's have a 2.4 liter engine, so they are perfectly fine.

    ok but it didnt mention 2009 tcs, just the xb's..so my tc should be in the clear i hope...

  • truscboy @ Aug 29, 2009 2:41AM
