Toyota to recall more 2010 Camrys in U.S.
Toyota to recall more 2010 Camrys in U.S.

a document sent to U.S. dealers on Tuesday and obtained by Reuters, Toyota said the 2010 Camrys equipped with a 4-cylinder engine might have a shorter-than-required power steering pressure hose in the engine compartment.

That could deplete the brake fluid, increasing the brake pedal stroke and making it more difficult and requiring more time to stop the vehicle, Toyota said.

Toyota notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Tuesday of its intention to conduct a voluntary safety recall, the document showed.

Toyota was not immediately available for comment

2. "might have a shorter-than-required power steering hose"
WTF??? I OWN one of these babies, so I have more than a passing interest. I have an appointment to take my Camry into the dealership on Thursday (after I kept calling the dealership persistently). NO ONE from the dealership or TOYOTA has contacted me, even though my car was the subject of two recalls before this one... I really believe that Toyota still doesn't know ALL of the causes for the acceleration and brake problems. GRRRRRRR!
