## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2016\-2017 Prius vehicles manufactured August 6, 2015, to October 3, 2016.  The affected vehicles are equipped with a foot\-operated parking brake system that has a parking brake cable that may disengage.


## What can happen

If the parking brake cable disengages from the mechanism and the transmission is left in a gear other than 'Park' while the ignition is on and the driver leaves the vehicle, the vehicle may roll unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install a clip at the parking brake cable end to prevent the cable from disengaging, free of charge.  The recall began November 10, 2016.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-888\-270\-9371.  Toyota's number for this recall is G01.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
