AI DamageWhat NHTSA 21V-890 actually describes
Toyota’s November 17, 2021 report concerns certain MY2018–2019 Camry vehicles with a particular mechanical vacuum pump. It describes wear of the vane end-cap material. With sufficient wear, a cap could lodge between vane and housing, break and damage other pump parts. Vacuum supply to the brake booster could be lost.

Our inspection framework starts with mechanical traces: the actual contact, deformation or fluid loss, areas open to examination and hidden parts. After wheel impact, inspect the brake assembly, lines and surrounding components under the repair procedure. Without that examination, a rim photograph does not establish caliper or hose condition.
