Description of the problem | This compliant is applicable to toyota tundra trucks ~2000 to 2003 models. A very strong brake vibration felt through-out the vehicle coming down mountain passes (i live in colorado). Even with the appropriate down-shifting the brake vibration is frightening causing the driver to wonder if the vehicle will be able to be slowed after a while. This is a known defect to toyota motor corp and is addressed in the toyota service bulletin br004-02 and is only addressed upon complaint by the customer and then again only at no charge if the vehicle is within the warranty limitations. The fix is a design change in the form of repalcement of the front caliper assembly and the front rotors. The rear drums might also have to be replaced with drums of greater mass and rigidity, according to the tsb br004-02 |
