All 2013 to 2015 Toyota Avalon and Lexus ES 300H and ES 350 models featuring the Pre-Collision System (PCS) are being recalled because the system may be activated by steel joints or plates in the roadway; this can cause unexpected braking, with the potential for injury or damage.
Dealers will deactivate the system until a remedy is available.
Almost 6,300 vehicles in Canada are affected by the recall.
