Toyota Highlanders' Stop/Restart Feature Fails
Toyota is recalling certain 2020 Highlander vehicles built from late June 2019 to early March 2020.
These vehicles are equipped with a feature that stops and restarts the engine.
Under certain driving patterns and vehicle conditions, this feature may not operate correctly, resulting in a vehicle stall. If a stall occurs, an audible chime will sound and multiple warning indicators will illuminate.
