TOYOTA AVENSIS ( 25/06/2004 – 07/07/2004) DEFECT: In rare cases the VSC (vehicle Stability Control) warning light may illuminate and the system stop working due to the Yaw rate sensor becoming disconnected internally. In even rarer cases the VSC may not function correctly even if the VSC light is not illuminated (partial disconnection). In these circumstances the VSC will not function. The VSC helps to prevent the vehicle from slipping sideways as a result of a strong front wheel skid or a strong rear wheel skid during cornering. The normal braking system is unaffected.
Remedy
Recall vehicles that are likely to be affected and inspect. If necessary replace the Yaw rate sensor.
