Over 48,000 Toyota vehicles are being recalled due to a potential issue that could pose a safety risk.
According to a notice on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's website, the manufacturer is recalling certain vehicles because the oil reservoir could detach. It could cause a road hazard and increase the risk of a collision.
"The metal flange on the front and rear shock absorbers may corrode and fail, resulting in detachment of the external oil reservoir," the notice says.
