Toyota recalls some cars sold in Alaska

Link: Edmunds.com Toyota Motor Corp. is launching a recall of roughly 95,700 Toyota and Scion-brand vehicles in the U.S. due to a possible cold-weather brake malfunction. The recall affects some 2009 and 2010 Toyota Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles and some 2008 and 2009 Scion xD vehicles, Toyota said. For those vehicles equipped with 1.8-liter engines, condensed moisture may seep into the brake system and freeze in low temperatures, potentially causing ice accumulation and weakening the power-assist to the brakes. The recall is targeted at 19 cold-weather states.
