    Would this follow for the actuator as well was there anything that was an indication of the new actuators that had the issue fixed?

    You're going to be buying this stuff generally from Toyota anyway or a Toyota qualified independent seller that is connected to the network so you should be getting the latest newer parts not new old stock from before the update. I would think those would be all long gone by now just saying I don't think there's a quick fix to straighten it out so you just want to make sure of your production date of the part you're buying that it's well after the manufacturing date of the physical car you have then you should be good to go

    When it comes to brakes on a car, like YOUR car, better to be over cautious than under!

    As Tom says, buy new from a dealer, an online Toyota dealer or from an independent who buys from a dealer. They will verify you get the correct actuator - there are at least two for most years and different part numbers for a v or c.

    There is no vin based production change that I know of for the actuators. Almost all gen3s were eligible for a free actuator for 10 years 150,000 miles.
