Got a double whammy today when Toyota announced another recall and sure enough my VIN is included in this one as well.

Status
Remedy Not Available
Description
In the subject vehicles, there is a possibility that the parking brake could become inoperative. If this occurs and the driver exits the vehicle with the transmission in a gear other than "Park" while the ignition is on, the vehicle could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy
Toyota is currently preparing the remedy parts for this condition and will provide additional information as it becomes available. The remedy, when available, will consist of installing clips on the ends of the parking brake cables to prevent the ends of the parking brake cables from disengaging from the crank levers on the rear brake calipers.

Just called my Toyota dealer and they don't have an ETA on when the parking brake fix will be available.
Did your dealer give you an ETA?
