Tacoma Parking Brake Error Pop-Up: One-Time Glitch or Serious Issue?

[h4ngman tacoma]

Noticed something yesterday with my truck. I got a parking brake malfunction pop-up on my dash. It appeared after I accidentally bumped the parking brake hold button on my center console while reaching for my phone. Couldn't turn it off, so I drove it like that to the mall.

When I got to the mall, I went inside to get something and spent a few minutes inside. When I got back to my truck, to my surprise, the error had disappeared. I feel maybe it was because I shut the truck off and started it up again; that was what cleared the warning.

I was aware of a certain period when Toyota issued a rear brake line recall. Don't know if it's a serious issue that would require me to go to a service center. Would observe it for a couple of days to see how it goes and drop on an update on the forum if there's any.

I have the recall for the rear brake lines on my truck. Apparently Toyota must not think it is serious because they haven't come up with a "fix" for it yet according to my dealer and it has been like 10 months.........
