Apparently, the Toyota company said that there maybe a problem with the brake master cylinder cup in nearly 1.5 millions of their vehicles around the world and there are nearly 750,000 of these cars on the road in the United States.

If we will try to remember, Toyota has recalled over 7 million vehicles in the U.S. over the past two years for problems with floormats, brakes, gas pedals and most recently steering. Using incentives to drive sales, the automaker had been trying to come back from the image hit it took because of the numerous recalls.
Now, the owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified of the said recall by mail in early as November. Yet, the Toyota and Lexus dealerships will replace the brake master cylinder cup with a newly designed one for free.
