## What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a Toyota Racing Development \(TRD\) High\-Performance Brake Kit sold and installed by Toyota dealerships, the clearance between the front outer brake tubes and the TRD 16\-inch 6\-spoke alloy wheels is small.  If wheel weights are installed in an incorrect location, the outer brake tubes could be damaged.  This could cause a brake fluid leak which could result in a loss of front brake function.  In conjunction with traffic and road condition, and the driver’s reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace both front outer brake tubes with updated versions.
