What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 3 model years this bulletin names have filed 1,068 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 109 of them name Service Brakes — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2018 Toyota Highlander, the 23 owners who gave an odometer reading for Service Brakes reported it at a median of 21,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.
When trying to coast to a stop at around 4 MPH the car will slam to a stop. Does not always do this but it's sometimes very hard to come to a smooth stop as the cars braking system (regenerative braking?) will kick in by itself. Can be dangerous if a car is tailing very close to me as it will seem like i'm driving unpredictably.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Toyota 24TE05 a recall?
No. A warranty extension is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the 24TE05 repair free?
A warranty extension is usually paid by the manufacturer on the vehicles it names, within the terms and time limit the document sets; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
Which vehicles does 24TE05 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 3 model years: 2019 Toyota Highlander, 2018 Toyota Highlander, 2017 Toyota Highlander. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
