What's wrong?
The brake actuator assembly on the 2023-2025 Toyota Corolla Hybrid and Corolla Cross Hybrid manages hydraulic brake pressure. It includes the skid control ECU, a brake computer that coordinates power brake assist, regenerative braking, and brake-force distribution so pedal pressure turns into steady braking at the wheels.
In recall 24V708, Toyota says the skid control ECU software is programmed in a way that can leave brake fluid pressure outside the intended control range when the driver presses the brake pedal while turning a corner. When that happens, power brake assist can drop. The brake pedal can feel hard, and the vehicle has reduced brake force until the system responds normally again.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner would notice the problem at the moment it happens: the pedal feels harder than expected during cornering, and the vehicle does not slow with the usual amount of pedal effort.
