Brake line, part number 47326-60340 burst without warning when driving. The particular brake line part is above frame rail near firewall. The particular brake line part goes from brake master cylinder to brake fluid fitting on the vehice frame. It is buried under hood, not easy to inspect. Part of reason it is difficult to visually inspect is that there are "loops" in line to allow for flexibility between vehicle body and chassis. The vehicle is equiped with electrically boosted braking system. Under this leak condition, the electric boost functionality will be lost, the brake system operates in mechanical back-up mode. Brake pressure is generated solely from driver foot. Due to leak in one circuit, there is no brake pressure in one circuit of brake system. The combination of non boost-assisted braking and one circuit deactivate result in extremely demolished braking ability from driver.

While driving in the mountains of West Virginia. Alarm sound, flashing lights and brake pedal unresponsive. Had to use emergency brake to stop vehicle. This happened on Sept 19, 2016 with 65,596 miles on the odometer. The truck had recently been inspected Sept 2, 2016 and also had the rear brake pads replaced at charles barker Toyota in Virginia beach Virginia. The odometer reading was 65,121. The service manager did state it was not common practice to bleed the brake lines although I did find several sites on line that said this should be done. I am retired and drive very little. After a 400 miles road trip to West Virginia this happened. I feel lucky to be alive and fortunate that this occurred in a flat stretch of road. $3229.92 later after replacing the ABS system we were able to return home. Paper work available on request.
