Toyota brake problem question?

I have an '06 Highlander Hybrid. I've noticed when applying my brakes on a bumpy road it feels like the brakes temporarily release and catch again. Luckily I've never been going fast enough, or had something close enough to worry, but now that they've found problems worth recalling the new Prius I'm wondering if anyone else has heard of potential problems with either the Highlander or hybrids in general.
 
That may be the cause, but it could be the ABS kicking in too. Try it on a paved road and see if it does it again. If it does, then you know its the recall problem. If not, then its just ABS. (anti lock brake system)

There were no recalls made.....that's strange why would your car have a problem. Only the 2009-2010 Highlander Hybrids are affected.

your abs might be interfering, have you tried turning off the VSC in your car (if you have it). See if that made any difference

I am guessing it might be your calipers....they may be loose, go ahead and get your brakes checked out.

if your vehicle is still under warranty you should immediately contact your dealer.

Toyota will listen to any complaints regarding their vehicle.
