Unintended acceleration while braking is mentioned in at least one report, occurring at low speed during a reversing maneuver.

By System
The 2019 Toyota Yaris has 4 recalls, the most serious being a low-pressure fuel pump that can fail while driving, causing the engine to stall or lose power suddenly and raising the risk of a crash.
The remaining three recalls are lower in severity. Two involve vehicle labels: one where the load capacity label can become illegible over time, and one where the label may display incorrect load figures. In both cases, a driver who relies on the label could unknowingly overload the vehicle. These label recalls only affect vehicles distributed through certain regional distributors.
