Due to the Camry brake failure incident: A certain batch of Camry sedans had issues with frequent brake failures, making it unsafe to drive in front of them. Below are the relevant details: 1. Component design flaw: A design issue with a component in the vacuum booster pump could lead to problems such as stiff brakes, increased pedal effort, or even complete brake failure. 2. Frequent accidents: This caused even experienced drivers to frequently rear-end other vehicles or get involved in otherwise avoidable accidents. Many Camry owners filed complaints with China's General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine (AQSIQ). After investigation, regulatory authorities concluded this was indeed a product defect in Camry vehicles. In 2009, Toyota initiated a massive recall of affected vehicles, which involved an astonishing number of Camry cars and shocked the industry at the time.
