The problem

A vehicle stall, especially when driving a high rate of speed, can increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota has notified owners, and dealers will replace the CVT and torque converter, free of charge. The recall began April 22, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's number for this recall is J17/J07.
