## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2015 Avalon and Avalon Hybrid vehicles manufactured October 19, 2012 to October 27, 2015 and 2013\-2015 Lexus ES350 and ES300h vehicles manufactured June 18, 2012 to July 6, 2015.  The affected vehicles are equipped with a Pre\-Collision System \(PCS\) as optional equipment.  In these vehicles, the PCS may unexpectedly activate and apply the brakes when the radar detects a steel joint or plate in the roadway as an object.


## What can happen

A vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace certain PCS components, free of charge.  The recall began on July 28, 2016.  Owners may contact Toyota at 1\-888\-270\-9371.  Toyota's numbers for this campaign are F1V and F2E.
