Accident Reconstruction News Article Toyota recalling 22,000 Tacomas to fix parking brakes DETROIT, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp. (7203.T: Quote, Profile, Research) is recalling 22,228 of its 2005 model Tacoma pickup trucks sold on the U.S. market to fix a potential problem with their parking brakes, federal safety regulators said on Tuesday. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the problem stemmed from the fact that the parking brake cable lock nut on the trucks may not have been tightened properly. "The lock nut may loosen and come off, which will reduce the effectiveness of the parking brake," NHTSA said in an advisory on its Web site. "This condition could allow the vehicle to roll if the transmission is not placed into the 'park' position," the agency said.It said the parking brake defect had only been detected on Tacomas equipped with automatic transmissions. ### |
