Consumer Description
On this 2013 Toyota Prius 2, the brake actuator is starting to make more and more rhythmic noise. A mechanic just alerted me that the seal is leaking, requiring a costly repair - to which he said to check for a recall as he has seen many Priuses with the same issue. While no Toyota recall is present, I can see that the NHTSA is already investigating the issue for a potential recall. As this is a live example in the Los Angeles, CA area, I am happy to demonstrate this issue to a NHTSA office, if necessary and/or available.
