Risk Description
The brake reservoir tank is designed for left hand drive Yaris hybrid vehicles. Due to the design of the chamber divider in the reservoir tank which separates the front and rear brake fluid lines, both front and rear brake system functionality may be lost in the event that brake fluid leaks from the front brake system. This could lead to a crash.
