Owner Letter Mailing Date

Toyota sent an Interim Owner Notification Letter to owners in late January 2020. Toyota will begin to notify owners about the remedy in March 2020. A sample of the interim and remedy owner notification letters are attached 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.

 

Dealer Inventory Procedures

New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory

There are approximately 60 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of November 27, 2019.

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.

 

Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles in New Dealer Stock

To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN. Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.

Part Number	Description	Quantity
00411-140003	Inspection Mirror Hang Tag	25 Per Pack

 

NOTE: Dealerships can order hang tags from the Material Distribution Center (MDC).

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.

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 19TA20/19TB20” and include the VIN.

The Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.

 

Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV)

The TCUV policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as a TCUV until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle.

¿Qué Debe Hacer?

Comuníquese con cualquier concesionario Toyota autorizado para programar una cita para que realicen el remedio tan pronto como sea posible.

El remedio va a requerir reemplazo de piezas. Le recomendamos que se comunique con su concesionario para programar una cita con anticipación para confirmar la disponibilidad de las piezas y reducir al mínimo sus inconvenientes.

Si cree que su vehículo experimenta alguno de los problemas descritos anteriormente, visite su concesionario Toyota autorizado local. Toyota sugiere que conduzca con cuidado su vehículo al concesionario en horario de día, ya que es posible que las luces principales y las señales de dirección no funcionen.

 

Ejemplo de mensaje mostrado en el conjunto de instrumentos

Nota: Este ejemplo describe el mensaje que se muestra si el problema afecta la luz principal izquierda. El mensaje real mostrado por su vehículo puede ser diferente, dependiendo de las luces principales que estén afectadas.

 

¿Qué pasa si usted no es el propietario o el operador de este vehículo?

Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, la Ley Federal exige que toda persona que arrienda vehículos y reciba este aviso de retiro de seguridad envíe una copia de este al arrendatario dentro de los diez días.

Usted recibió esta notificación porque nuestros registros, que se basan principalmente en los datos del estado de registro y de título, indican que usted es el propietario actual.

 

¿Cuál es la condición?

Ciertas luces principales* izquierdas y/o derechas pueden experimentar la pérdida de la función.

¿Qué hará Toyota?

Toyota actualmente está preparando el remedio. El remedio, cuando esté disponible, involucrará el reemplazó de las unidades de control de las luces principales del lado del conductor y del lado del pasajero SIN CARGO para usted.

 

Si observa que la iluminación de una luz principal está afectada o que su señal de dirección no funciona adecuadamente, es posible que su vehículo esté experimentando esta condición. Aparecerá un mensaje en el conjunto de instrumentos y podría percibir un sonido de clic más rápido de lo que se escucha usualmente al activar la señal de dirección.

Si cree que su vehículo experimenta alguno de los problemas descritos anteriormente, visite su concesionario Toyota autorizado local. Toyota sugiere que conduzca con cuidado su vehículo al concesionario en horario de día, ya que es posible que las luces principales y las señales de dirección no funcionen.

 

Ejemplo de mensaje mostrado en el conjunto de instrumentos

Nota: Este ejemplo describe el mensaje que se muestra si el problema afecta la luz principal izquierda. El mensaje real mostrado por su vehículo puede ser diferente, dependiendo de las luces principales que estén afectadas.

 

¿Qué pasa si usted no es el propietario o el operador de este vehículo?

Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, la Ley Federal exige que toda persona que arrienda vehículos y reciba este aviso de retiro de seguridad envíe una copia de este al arrendatario dentro de los diez días.

Si conoce al propietario u operador actual, sea tan amable de enviarle esta carta.

Si desea actualizar la información de propiedad de su vehículo o de contacto, lo puede hacer registrándose en www.toyota.com/owners. Necesitará el número de identificación del vehículo (VIN) completo de 17 dígitos para ingresar la nueva información.

Si considera que el concesionario o Toyota no han logrado o no pueden solucionar el defecto dentro de un plazo razonable o sin cargo para usted, puede presentar una queja al Administrador, a la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial en Autopistas], 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, o llame sin costo a la línea directa de Seguridad Automotor al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), o visite https://www.safercar.gov.

Hemos enviado esta notificación con el interés de que usted esté continuamente satisfecho con nuestros productos.

Lamentamos sinceramente cualquier inconveniente que este problema le pueda haber ocasionado. Gracias por conducir un Toyota.

SAFETY RECALL 19TA20 (Interim Notice 19TB20)

Certain 2020 Model Year Supra Vehicles
Headlamp(s) May Become Inoperative

Model / Years	Production Period	Approximate Total Vehicles	Approximate Stop Sale Dealer Inventory
2020 Supra	Mid-July 2019 – Late August 2019	180	60

 

STOP! DO NOT SELL NEW VEHICLES IN DEALER INVENTORY. Refer to Dealer Inventory Procedures section for more details.

 

On November 27, 2019, BMW filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of its intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2020 model year Supra vehicles.

 

Condition

Certain left and/or right headlamp(s) may experience a loss of function.  If a loss of function to the left and/or right headlamp occurred, this would affect headlamp illumination and turn-signal function. Driving without a turn signal or with both headlamps disabled could increase the risk of a crash.

 

Remedy

Toyota is currently preparing the remedy. The remedy, when available, will involve replacing the affected headlamp control unit FREE OF CHARGE.

 

Covered Vehicles

There are approximately 180 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Also, there were no vehicles distributed to Puerto Rico covered by this Safety Recall.

 

Owner Letter Mailing Date

Toyota will notify owners by late January 2020.

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.

 

Dealer Inventory Procedures

New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory

There are approximately 60 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of November 27, 2019.

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.

 

Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles in New Dealer Stock

To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN. Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.

Part Number	Description	Quantity
00411-140003	Inspection Mirror Hang Tag	25 Per Pack

 

NOTE: Dealerships can order hang tags from the Material Distribution Center (MDC).

 

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 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 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 [email protected]. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 19TA20” and include the VIN.

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 (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.

 

Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV)

The TCUV policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as a TCUV until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have been completed on that vehicle.

 

Toyota Rent-A-Car (TRAC) & Service Loaners

Toyota requests that dealers remove all TRAC and Service Loaner vehicles from service that are covered by a Safety Recall unless the defect has been remedied.

 

Customer Handling

Customer Contacts

Customers who receive the owner letter may contact your dealership with questions regarding the letter and/or the Safety Recall. Please welcome them to your dealership and answer any questions that they may have. A Q&A is provided to assure a consistent message is communicated.

Customers with additional questions or concerns are asked to please contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center (1-888-270-9371) – Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 7:00 pm, Saturday 7:00 am to 4:30 pm Central Time.
