Frequently Asked Questions
Original Publication Date: April 15, 2022
Q1: What is the condition?
A1: A software error can cause the Vehicle Stability Control system (VSC) not to default to “ON” the next time the car is started under certain circumstances. This can result in noncompliance with a federal safety requirement. Operating the vehicle with VSC deactivated could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions.
Q1a: What are the specific circumstances under which this condition could occur?
A1a: If the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC in-vehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle.
Q2: Are there any symptoms/warnings before the condition can occur?
A2: No. However, when the VSC system is not activated, a warning light on the instrument panel will be continuously displayed alerting the driver that the VSC system is not activated.
Q3: Is there anything I can do to avoid this condition?

The state of California requires the completion of Safety Recalls / Service Campaigns on emission related parts prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the State requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this FREE Safety Recall, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State of California Regulations require Toyota to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all vehicles that have not had the Safety Recall completed.

This can result in noncompliance with a federal safety requirement. Operating the vehicle with VSC deactivated could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. Remedy Toyota is currently preparing the remedy for this issue. When the remedy is available, any authorized Toyota dealer will update the software in the Skid Control ECU FREE OF CHARGE. At this time, Toyota estimates the remedy can be available in late April 2022. Covered Vehicles There are approximately 451,500 vehicles covered by this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall. Approximately 2,200 vehicles involved in this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico. Owner Letter Mailing Date Toyota will notify owners by the middle of June 2022. Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety (Noncompliance) Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle. Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.

Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied. Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy. NOTE: • New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should not be made until a vehicle is remedied. • Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference. Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory Toyota typically requests that dealers NOT deliver any pre-owned vehicles in dealer inventory that are covered by a Safety (Noncompliance) Recall unless the defect has been remedied. In this case, until remedy parts are available, delivery of a pre-owned vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall and that the remedy is currently being prepared by Toyota. Toyota expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Toyota and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the remedy becomes available. Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 22TA03/22TB03” and include the VIN.

A1: A software error can cause the Vehicle Stability Control system (VSC) not to default to “ON” the next time the car is started under certain circumstances. This can result in noncompliance with a federal safety requirement. Operating the vehicle with VSC deactivated could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. Q1a: What are the specific circumstances under which this condition could occur? A1a: If the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC in-vehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle. Q2: Are there any symptoms/warnings before the condition can occur? A2: No. However, when the VSC system is not activated, a warning light on the instrument panel will be continuously displayed alerting the driver that the VSC system is not activated. FAQ Page 2 of 3 © 2022 Toyota Motor Sales, USA Q3: Is there anything I can do to avoid this condition? A3: This condition does not occur as long as you fully release the brake pedal between ignition cycles. In addition, if the VSC system is off when the vehicle is started, you can press your VSC / TRAC button shown below to reactivate the VSC system. Q4: What is Toyota going to do? A4: Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail by the middle of June 2022, advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the software in the Skid Control ECU updated FREE OF CHARGE. NOTE (Customers who live in the state of California) The state of California requires the completion of Safety Recalls / Service Campaigns on emission related parts prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the State requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this FREE Safety Recall, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State of California Regulations require Toyota to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all vehicles that have not had the Safety Recall completed. Your Toyota dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction Form after the campaign has been completed. Please ensure you retain this form, because the DMV may require that you supply proof that the campaign has been completed during your vehicle registration renewal process.

(3) This issue involves only vehicles in the above production range which have a Skid Control ECU with a specific software logic. 3. Total Number of Vehicles Involved: Toyota HIGHLANDER HEV : 129,572 Toyota SIENNA : 140,840 Toyota RAV4 HEV : 47,589 Toyota RAV4 PRIME : 38,412 Toyota VENZA : 91,139 LEXUS LX : 1,261 LEXUS NX HEV : 4,035 LEXUS NX PHEV : 1,231 Toyota MIRAI : 3,926 LEXUS LS HEV : 49 Total : 458,054 4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance: 100% of the involved vehicles contain a Skid Control ECU with the incorrect software logic described in Section 5 below. Whether the issue, in each case, will cause the Vehicle Stability Control system not to return to the default setting at the next ignition cycle depends on whether the driver follows the particular set of operating inputs exactly as described in Section 5 below. 5. Description of Noncompliance: The subject vehicles are equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system that is operated by a Skid Control ECU with a specific software logic. Due to an incorrect programming of the Skid Control ECU software, after a particular set of operating inputs where the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC in-vehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle. In this specific scenario, the VSC will not meet the requirements of FMVSS 126, paragraph S5.4.1. Unless these precise operating inputs are followed, VSC operation will automatically return to the default VSC ON setting at any subsequent ignition cycle. If the VSC does not default to VSC ON, a warning light will illuminate, indicating to the driver that the VSC is not activated. If the VSC does not return to the default ON setting because the precise operating inputs were carried out and the driver also does not recognize the warning light to manually reactivate the VSC system, then operating the vehicle with an inoperative VSC system could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. 6. Test Results and Other Information: During the evaluation process of a vehicle under development, a Toyota team member observed that the VSC system did not automatically return to the default setting (VSC ON) at the next ignition cycle after the VSC had been turned off using the in-vehicle control. Based on this observation, Toyota proceeded to review the software logic of the Skid Control ECU which controls the VSC system. A review of the software logic found that “Brake Pedal OFF” had been added to the list of parameters required for the VSC to return to the default “ON” setting after the VSC had been manually deactivated. In the vehicle under development, it was found that by introducing the Brake Pedal OFF parameter, depressing the brake pedal through the end of one ignition cycle and into the start of the next ignition cycle caused the VSC not to return to the default setting at the subsequent ignition cycle if the driver had manually turned off the VSC using the in-vehicle control. Further investigation confirmed that similar software logic which included the Brake Pedal OFF parameter was used for the Skid Control ECU in certain production vehicles. Based on this information, on April 7, 2022, Toyota determined that the vehicles with a Skid Control ECU which contains this specific software logic do not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.126, paragraph S5.4.1. because the VSC does not default to VSC ON at the start of each ignition cycle if the specific operating inputs are followed. 7. Description of Corrective Repair Action: All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota or Lexus dealer. The dealers will update the software of the Skid Control ECU, free of charge. Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty. 8. Recall Schedule: Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will begin by June 12, 2022. A copy of the draft owner notification letter(s) will be submitted as soon as available. 9. Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule: Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on April 13, 2022. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued. 10.

(3) This issue involves only vehicles in the above production range which have a Skid Control ECU with a specific software logic. 3. Total Number of Vehicles Involved: Toyota HIGHLANDER Hybrid : 129,573 Toyota SIENNA : 140,884 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid : 47,600 Toyota RAV4 PRIME : 38,412 Toyota VENZA : 91,139 LEXUS LX 600 : 1,261 LEXUS NX 350h : 4,035 LEXUS NX 450h+ : 1,231 Toyota MIRAI : 3,926 LEXUS LS 500h : 49 Total : 458,110 4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance: 100% of the involved vehicles contain a Skid Control ECU with the incorrect software logic described in Section 5 below. Whether the issue, in each case, will cause the Vehicle Stability Control system not to return to the default setting at the next ignition cycle depends on whether the driver follows the particular set of operating inputs exactly as described in Section 5 below. 5. Description of Noncompliance: The subject vehicles are equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system that is operated by a Skid Control ECU with a specific software logic. Due to an incorrect programming of the Skid Control ECU software, after a particular set of operating inputs where the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC in-vehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle. In this specific scenario, the VSC will not meet the requirements of FMVSS 126, paragraph S5.4.1. Unless these precise operating inputs are followed, VSC operation will automatically return to the default VSC ON setting at any subsequent ignition cycle. If the VSC does not default to VSC ON, a warning light will illuminate, indicating to the driver that the VSC is not activated. If the VSC does not return to the default ON setting because the precise operating inputs were carried out and the driver also does not recognize the warning light to manually reactivate the VSC system, then operating the vehicle with an inoperative VSC system could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. 6. Test Results and Other Information: During the evaluation process of a vehicle under development, on February 8, 2022, a Toyota team member observed that the VSC system did not automatically return to the default setting (VSC ON) at the next ignition cycle after the VSC had been turned off using the in-vehicle control. Based on this observation, Toyota proceeded to review the software logic of the Skid Control ECU which controls the VSC system. A review of the software logic found that “Brake Pedal OFF” had been added to the list of parameters required for the VSC to return to the default “ON” setting after the VSC had been manually deactivated. In the vehicle under development, it was found that by introducing the Brake Pedal OFF parameter, depressing the brake pedal through the end of one ignition cycle and into the start of the next ignition cycle caused the VSC not to return to the default setting at the subsequent ignition cycle if the driver had manually turned off the VSC using the in-vehicle control. Further investigation confirmed that similar software logic which included the Brake Pedal OFF parameter was used for the Skid Control ECU in certain production vehicles. Based on this information, on April 7, 2022, Toyota determined that the vehicles with a Skid Control ECU which contains this specific software logic do not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.126, paragraph S5.4.1. because the VSC does not default to VSC ON at the start of each ignition cycle if the specific operating inputs are followed. 7. Description of Corrective Repair Action: All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota or Lexus dealer. The dealers will update the software of the Skid Control ECU, free of charge. Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty. 8. Recall Schedule: Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will begin by June 12, 2022. A copy of the draft owner notification letter(s) will be submitted as soon as available. 9. Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule: Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on April 13, 2022. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued. 10.

Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied. Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy. NOTE: • New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should not be made until a vehicle is remedied. • Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.

A1: A software error can cause the Vehicle Stability Control system (VSC) not to default to “ON” the next time the car is started under certain circumstances. This can result in noncompliance with a federal safety requirement. Operating the vehicle with VSC deactivated could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. Q1a: What are the specific circumstances under which this condition could occur? A1a: If the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC in-vehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle. Q2: Are there any symptoms/warnings before the condition can occur? A2: No. However, when the VSC system is not activated, a warning light on the instrument panel will be continuously displayed alerting the driver that the VSC system is not activated. FAQ Page 2 of 3 © 2022 Toyota Motor Sales, USA Q3: Is there anything I can do to avoid this condition? A3: This condition does not occur as long as you fully release the brake pedal between ignition cycles. In addition, if the VSC system is off when the vehicle is started, you can press your VSC / TRAC button shown below to reactivate the VSC system. Q4: What is Toyota going to do? A4: Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail by the middle of June 2022, advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the software in the Skid Control ECU updated FREE OF CHARGE. NOTE (Customers who live in the state of California) The state of California requires the completion of Safety Recalls / Service Campaigns on emission related parts prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the State requires that every vehicle must pass an emission test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this FREE Safety Recall, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State of California Regulations require Toyota to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all vehicles that have not had the Safety Recall completed. Your Toyota dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction Form after the campaign has been completed. Please ensure you retain this form, because the DMV may require that you supply proof that the campaign has been completed during your vehicle registration renewal process.

Production Dates : OCT 19, 2020 – MAR 30, 2022 VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : The subject vehicles are equipped with a Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system that is operated by a Skid Control ECU with a specific software logic. Due to an incorrect programming of the Skid Control ECU software, after a particular set of operating inputs where the driver manually turns off the VSC by the VSC invehicle control and the ignition is turned off and then turned back on while the brake pedal is continuously depressed, the VSC will not return to the default ON setting at the next ignition cycle. In this specific scenario, the VSC will not meet the requirements of FMVSS 126, paragraph S5.4.1. Unless these precise operating inputs are followed, VSC operation will automatically return to the default VSC ON setting at any subsequent ignition cycle. If the VSC does not default to VSC ON, a warning light will illuminate, indicating to the driver that the VSC is not activated. If the VSC does not return to the default ON setting because the precise operating inputs were carried out and the driver also does not recognize the warning light to manually reactivate the VSC system, then operating the vehicle with an inoperative VSC system could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions. FMVSS 1 : 126 – Electronic stability control systems FMVSS 2 : NR Description of the Safety Risk : In this specific scenario, the VSC will not meet the requirements of FMVSS 126, paragraph S5.4.1. Unless these precise operating inputs are followed, VSC operation will automatically return to the default VSC ON setting at any subsequent ignition cycle. If the VSC does not default to VSC ON, a warning light will illuminate, indicating to the driver that the VSC is not activated. If the VSC does not return to the default ON setting because the precise Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-239 Page 7 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 operating inputs were carried out and the driver also does not recognize the warning light to manually reactivate the VSC system, then operating the vehicle with an inoperative VSC system could increase the risk of a crash in certain driving conditions.

Address : 2-1 Showa-machi Kariya, Aichi Foreign States 448-8688 Country : Japan Chronology : During the evaluation process of a vehicle under development, on February 8, 2022, a Toyota team member Part 573 Safety Recall Report 22V-239 Page 9 The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 observed that the VSC system did not automatically return to the default setting (VSC ON) at the next ignition cycle after the VSC had been turned off using the in-vehicle control. Based on this observation, Toyota proceeded to review the software logic of the Skid Control ECU which controls the VSC system. A review of the software logic found that “Brake Pedal OFF” had been added to the list of parameters required for the VSC to return to the default “ON” setting after the VSC had been manually deactivated. In the vehicle under development, it was found that by introducing the Brake Pedal OFF parameter, depressing the brake pedal through the end of one ignition cycle and into the start of the next ignition cycle caused the VSC not to return to the default setting at the subsequent ignition cycle if the driver had manually turned off the VSC using the invehicle control. Further investigation confirmed that similar software logic which included the Brake Pedal OFF parameter was used for the Skid Control ECU in certain production vehicles. Based on this information, on April 7, 2022, Toyota determined that the vehicles with a Skid Control ECU which contains this specific software logic do not meet the requirements of FMVSS No.126, paragraph S5.4.1. because the VSC does not default to VSC ON at the start of each ignition cycle if the specific operating inputs are followed. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota or Lexus dealer. The dealers will update the software of the Skid Control ECU, free of charge.
