Brake squeek when in reverse TSB issued - GreenHybrid

schmidtj · #1 (**permalink**) 09-29-2006, 07:53 AM

When I back out of my garage in the morning and apply light brake pressure my brakes squeek. My wife's '07 XLE-V6 does not.
Toyota has issued a TSB (Thechincal Service Bulletin) addressing the issue. It adds some clips to the brake pad assembly and is a warranty fix.
Just an FYI.

I guess it might affect, besides the 2007 Camry non-hybrid, only those 2007 TCH within prod. number [000000-009909] ... my prod. number is greater than 21000, therefore no issue for my 2007 TCH

Mine is just under the cutoff 9635.

My dealer uses 5W-20 non-synthetic so I'll go with that. I change mine every 3K along with the filter.

How do you determine your production number?

Thanks

It is the last 6 digits of your VIN.

Schmidtj - Thanks for the info. I'm production number 922 and reported exactly the same thing. I'm at 4200 miles so I'll print out the bulletin and have them take care of it during my first maintenance.

Thanks again doubly!.. I have a similar issue with my TCH.. Not a big deal, however it is consistent and somewhat annoying. Seems to only be when the brakes are cold after sitting all night in the garage.. Next service will take the TSB with me.
