Toyota recalled 95,700 Toyota and Scion models in 19 cold-weather states because of a possible brake problem. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, it is possible that at “extremely low ambient temperatures” the brakes could lose power-assist, which would “lead to lengthened vehicle stopping distances.” 

The recall is regional affecting owners of the 2009 and 2010 Corolla and Matrix models and some 2008 and 2009 Scion xD models in Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
