| To: | All Toyota Dealer Principals, General Managers, Service Managers, and Parts Managers |
| Subject: | Safety Recall J0F (J1F) – Remedy Notice Certain 2016 Model Year Prius Airbag Sensor |
On January 31, 2018, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2016 model year Prius vehicles.
Condition
The involved vehicles have airbag systems where an open circuit could be created over time. If this were to occur, the airbag warning light will illuminate and the side/curtain shield airbags may not deploy. Airbag non-deployment could increase the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the airbag sensors inspected and replaced with new ones, IF NECESSARY, at NO CHARGE.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 8,000 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. There were approximately 60 vehicles distributed to Puerto Rico involved in this Safety Recall.
| Model Name | Model Year | Production Period |
|---|---|---|
| Prius | 2016 | Early June 2015 – Late December 2015 |
Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota will begin to notify owners in late March 2018. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.
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 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.
New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory
There are 2 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of January 30, 2018.
| 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 is remedied.
Toyota 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: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 24 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.
Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory
To ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota requests that dealers complete this Safety Recall on any used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Safety Recall prior to customer delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts availability), delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in a Safety Recall.
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.
