Toyota recalls the 2022 Tundra pickups because the electronic parking brake may malfunction, causing potential rollaway of the vehicle. The Skid Control ECU within the Brake Actuator Assembly may falsely detect an overcurrent condition of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) Actuator and enter a failsafe mode. This prevents the EPB from being engaged, which can potentially roll away increasing a likelihood of a crash.
