Toyota motor north America, inc. Is has issued a recall for the model year 2008-2009 scion xd and 2009-2010 Corolla, Corolla matrix, and pontiac vibe vehicles equipped with a 1. 8l engine and originally sold in or currently registered in certain states. My concern is for those like myself who purchased the vehicle and or has the vehicle registered in a state that is not part of the recall. What if I drive the vehicle to a state listed in the recall. Also, under harsh conditions certain parts of my state can have these low ambient temperatures. According to the NHTSA campaign id number 09v338000, the consequence of this defect is that this could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance and a crash could occur. A summary of the defect is when driving under certain unique conditions in extremely low ambient temperatures, the intake manifold suction port for the brake vacuum can become locked due to the freezing of condensation resulting from positive crankcase ventilation. The remedy is dealers will install a newly designed intake air connector which will relocate the brake system vacuum port. In summary, it would seem logical to me that Toyota would fix this issue for all vehicles affected by the recall, not just based upon location of purchase and or registration. This appears to be a cost savings measure versus actually being concerned about its customers safety. What corrective actions can be taken?.
