- Period mentioned

- Symptoms
- A high-pitched squeal from the front wheels under light or moderate braking; under hard braking it barely sounds and the car brakes well.
- Possible cause described
- The front pads vibrate. Toyota fixes it by replacing the anti-squeal shim kit on both front sides, with about 50 minutes of labour (bulletin T-SB-0001-22 Rev1, January 2022).
- Check for the garage
- If the car brakes well and only squeals under gentle braking, tell the garage exactly that and ask them to check the front pads' anti-squeal shims before replacing discs. If it also brakes worse, go to the garage now.
