*This count represents the approximate stop sale dealer inventory count for vehicles added on October 28, 2020, based Toyota’s records.  For vehicles added on December 18, 2020, Toyota did not find any additional new vehicle inventory in its records.  Actual vehicles in your dealership subject to the stop sale may vary and each dealer should confirm its inventory status.  It is possible vehicles previously included in this recall in January and March remain in dealer inventory.  The remedy is available for vehicles included in January and March and the remedy must be performed before sale of those vehicles.  Dealers can identify if any of their new vehicle inventory have this Safety Recall open in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily.

 

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

 

On December 18, 2020, Toyota amended a previously filed Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The amended Defect Information Report (DIR) informs NHTSA of Toyota’s intent to amend the prior voluntary Safety Recall to add certain:

• 2019 Sequoia
• 2019 Tacoma
• 2019 Tundra

 

Note:

• When this Safety Recall was first announced on January 13, 2020, there were approximately 564,300 vehicles covered.
• On March 4, 2020, this Safety Recall was amended to cover a total of approximately 1,433,050 vehicles.
• On October 28, 2020, this Safety Recall was amended to cover a total of approximately 2,760,500 vehicles.
• On December 18, 2020, this Safety Recall was amended to cover a total of approximately 2,768,500 vehicles.

 

Condition

The subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

 

Remedy

Any authorized Toyota dealer will replace the low-pressure fuel pump with an improved one FREE OF CHARGE. Toyota is conducting a phased implementation of the remedy. Refer to the tables below to determine the remedy status and dates that Toyota estimates the remedy will become available for each vehicle model.

Important Note: The dates specified in this table are estimates and are subject to change.

*Sienna Mobility Vehicles: Refer to the polices on the next page related to Sienna vehicles that have been converted for wheelchair accessibility.

                       

Sienna Mobility Vehicles, Toyota-Authorized Conversion

Sienna vehicles that have been converted for wheelchair accessibility by a Toyota-authorized mobility conversion company are eligible to have the remedy performed, once available. Refer to the Technical Instructions on TIS for the remedy procedure instructions.

• Dealers should confirm in TIS / Service Lane if a mobility vehicle has been converted by an authorized company as shown below:

• In rare cases, Sienna vehicles converted by an authorized company may not appear in Toyota’s records and; therefore, may not appear on TIS / Service lane as shown above. These vehicles should still have the remedy performed per the Technical Instructions.

• Below is the list of companies that are authorized by Toyota to convert Sienna vehicles for wheelchair accessibility.
  • The Braun Corporation (BruanAbility)
  • Vantage Mobility International (VMI)

 

Sienna Mobility Vehicles, Non-Toyota-Authorized Conversion

Sienna vehicles that have been converted for wheelchair accessibility by a non-Toyota authorized mobility conversion company have undergone an unauthorized modification to the factory condition of the vehicle. These modifications may make it difficult or impossible to apply the remedy in their current condition. Toyota does not recommend modifying vehicles and cannot evaluate how any aftermarket, non-Toyota approved parts and/or modifications could affect a vehicle’s performance.

Subject to individual review by the dealer and notwithstanding Toyota’s recommendation, some dealers may be willing to perform the Safety Recall remedy with the vehicle in its current modified condition. If your dealership is willing to do so, the customer may be responsible for the cost of parts and/or labor not otherwise covered by Toyota’s Safety Recall. Toyota provides the specific remedy parts, differential oil (AWD-only), and covers 2.6 – 2.7 hours of dealership labor expenses. The customer is responsible to pay any additional charges for parts and/or labor which are the result of the vehicle’s non-Toyota-approved modifications.

Toyota is not responsible for later performance problems the vehicle may have that are the result of the non-Toyota-approved vehicle modifications.

If the dealer decides it cannot complete the repair on a non-authorized conversion due the modifications in that case, the dealer may advise the customer that they have the option of contacting the conversion company for direction. Although the conversion company may or may not be able to provide a solution for the customer, the conversion company may, in the alternative, remove the fuel tank and fuel suction tube assembly, at the customer or conversion company’s expense. In this case, the Toyota dealer could then be able to install the remedy low-pressure fuel pump into the fuel suction tube assembly free-of-charge. The re-installation of the fuel suction tube assembly and fuel tank into the vehicle would need to be performed at the customer or conversion company’s expense by the conversion company in this case.

 

Campaign Phase Interpretation

Check each VIN in TIS for specific vehicle status. This Safety Recall has expanded and is being administered in phases due to parts availability. Please confirm each VIN using TIS to determine if the vehicle is in the remedy phase or the interim (remedy not available) phase. Only perform the repair if it is available for the specific VIN. Dealers are NOT to perform repairs on vehicles that are in the interim phase. 

 

REMEDY PHASE – ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIR

STATUS IDENTIFICATION A: Campaign Description: 20TA02 Remedy B: Completion Status: Not Completed This vehicle is eligible to have the remedy performed.

 

INTERIM PHASE – FUTURE REPAIR

STATUS IDENTIFICATION A: Campaign Description: 20TB02 Interim B: Completion Status: Not Completed This vehicle is in the interim phase; the remedy CANNOT be performed at this time.

 

Covered Vehicles

There are now approximately 2,768,500 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Approximately 20,750 vehicles involved in this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico. Refer to the covered vehicles summary attached near the bottom of this document for additional details on the covered vehicles.

 

Certain 2018 – 2019 model year 4Runner and 2018 – 2019 model year Land Cruiser Vehicles are Included in this Recall

Out of an abundance of caution, Toyota originally included certain 2018 – 2019 model year 4Runner and 2018 – 2019 model year Land Cruiser vehicles in the recall population when this recall was first initiated on January 13, 2020.   On March 4, 2020, Toyota amended the recall population based on its understanding of the factors necessary to cause the recall condition.  Based on information available at that time, the models in the table below were removed from the recall.

Toyota continued to investigate the issue and new information from the investigation indicated that the previous method for evaluating the combination of factors leading to this condition resulted in the exclusion of vehicles from the recall that should have been included.  Thus, Toyota further expanded the recall population on October 28, 2020 and the vehicles in the table below (previously removed in March) are included.

Model / Years	Production Period	Approximate Total Vehicles Removed
2018 – 2019 4Runner	Early August 2018 – Late January 2019	72,700
2018 – 2019 Land Cruiser		1,900

 

Owners may have received an interim letter in late February 2020; however, Toyota sent a subsequent letter to owners of these vehicles between late April 2020 and early May 2020 explaining that they were not involved in this recall based on the information available at that time.  Toyota is re-notifying the owners of these vehicles to advise them that they are now involved in this recall and explain this situation.

Toyota has updated this document with a sample of the letter, and the mailing period.

 

Owner Letter Mailing Date

Refer to the table below for the owner letter mailing period.

Letter Type	Applicable Vehicles	Letter Mailing Period	Attached Sample
Interim	Vehicles added on January 13, 2020	Mid-February 2020 – Mid-March 2020	Sample A

Interim	Vehicles added on October 28, 2020	Late November 2020 – Late December 2020	Sample F
	Vehicles removed on March 4, 2020 and added on October 28, 2020		Sample G
Interim	Vehicles added on December 18, 2020	Toyota will update this document once letter mailing period has been determined	TBD

 

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 and remedy availability 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 530 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of October 27, 2020.
• This count represents the approximate stop sale dealer inventory count for vehicles added on October 28, 2020, based Toyota’s records. For vehicles added on December 18, 2020, Toyota did not find any additional new vehicle inventory in its records.  Actual vehicles in your dealership subject to the stop sale may vary and each dealer should confirm its inventory status.  It is possible vehicles previously included in this recall in January and March remain in dealer inventory.  The remedy is available for vehicles included in January and March and the remedy must be performed before sale of those vehicles.  Dealers can identify if any of their new vehicle inventory have this Safety Recall open in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily.

 

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 (For Vehicles with Remedy NOT Available)

For vehicles that the remedy is not yet available for, 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 quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 20TA02/20TB02” 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/).

Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory (For Vehicles with Remedy Available)

For vehicles that have the remedy available, 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.

For vehicles retained at your dealership, reference T-SB-0196-17 for long term vehicle storage guidelines.

• Keep a completed copy of the Toyota Customer Vehicle Offsite Storage Form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email state, “Customer Vehicle Offsite Storage Form 20TA02” and include the VIN.

• The vehicle must be stored using the guidelines identified on the Toyota Customer Vehicle Offsite Storage Form and agreed to by the customer.

• When the remedy becomes available for the customer’s vehicle, the customer must return the loaner vehicle to your dealership and have the remedy performed on their vehicle.

A2a: Toyota discovered a clerical error that resulted in certain 2019 Sequoia, 2019 Tacoma, and 2019 Tundra vehicles not being included in the October 28, 2020 amendment.   Q2b: Why did Toyota expand this recall on October 28, 2020? A2b:   Toyota continued to investigate the issue and new information from the investigation indicated that the previous method for evaluating the combination of factors leading to this condition resulted in the exclusion of vehicles from the recall that should have been included.  Thus, Toyota further expanded the recall population on October 28, 2020.   Q2c: Why is the remedy available for some models but not others? A2c: Toyota is preparing remedy parts for the new vehicles included in the amended recall population on October 28, 2020 and December 18, 2020.  Owners of involved vehicles will be notified when the remedy is available.  To determine if remedy is available for your vehicle, you may contact your nearest Toyota dealership or visit https://www.toyota.com/recall.   Q2d: Why was my vehicle removed from this recall on March 4, 2020, but added back to the recall on October 28, 2020?

Based on information available at that time, certain vehicles were removed from the recall. Toyota continued to investigate the issue and new information from the investigation indicated that the previous method for evaluating the combination of factors leading to this condition resulted in the exclusion of vehicles from the recall that should have been included.  Thus, Toyota further expanded the recall population on October 28, 2020 and certain vehicles, that were previously removed, have been included in the recall.
Q3:	Which and how many vehicles are covered by this Safety Recall?

Q5a: Who are the companies that have been authorized by Toyota to convert Sienna vehicles for wheelchair accessibility? A5a: Below is the list of companies that offer Toyota-authorized conversions for Sienna vehicles for wheelchair accessibility. The Braun Corporation (BraunAbility) Vantage Mobility International (VMI)   Q5b: What if my vehicle is converted by a non-authorized mobility conversion? A5b: Sienna vehicles that have been converted for wheelchair accessibility by a non-Toyota authorized mobility conversion company have undergone an unauthorized modification to the factory condition of the vehicle. These modifications may make it difficult or impossible to apply the remedy in their current condition. Toyota does not recommend modifying vehicles and cannot evaluate how any aftermarket, non-Toyota approved parts and/or modifications could affect a vehicle’s performance. Subject to individual review by the dealer and notwithstanding Toyota’s recommendation, some dealers may be willing to perform the Safety Recall remedy with the vehicle in its current modified condition. If your dealership is willing to do so, the customer may be responsible for the cost of parts and/or labor not otherwise covered by Toyota’s Safety Recall. Toyota provides the specific remedy parts, differential oil (AWD-only), and covers 2.6 – 2.7 hours of dealership labor expenses. The customer is responsible to pay any additional charges for parts and/or labor which are the result of the vehicle’s non-Toyota-approved modifications. Toyota is not responsible for later performance problems the vehicle may have that are the result of the non-Toyota-approved vehicle modifications.
Q6:	What if I previously paid for repairs related to this Safety Recall?
A6:	Reimbursement consideration instructions will be provided in the owner letter.
Q7:	How does Toyota obtain my mailing information?
A7:	Toyota uses an industry provider who works with each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to receive registration or title information, based upon the DMV records. Please make sure your registration or title information is correct.
Q8:	What if I have additional questions or concerns?

[VIN]

Dear Toyota Owner:

You may have recently received a notice from Toyota, or may otherwise be aware, that your [MY/make/model] was part of a safety recall involving vehicles with low-pressure fuel pumps which may stop operating. After further investigation, we wish to inform you that your vehicle is NOT INVOLVED in this recall. We apologize for any concern or confusion this may have caused and hope this notice will reduce inconvenience to you.

 

Why is my vehicle not involved in this Safety Recall?

Out of an abundance of caution, Toyota included your vehicle in this recall when the recall was initiated in mid January 2020. However, at that time, Toyota had not completed its investigation into the cause of possible fuel pump failure. That investigation now shows that the fuel pump in your vehicle IS NOT affected, and you do not need to bring your vehicle to the dealer for repair. Other owners are also being notified about this. As this recall proceeds, Toyota will only notify owners of those vehicle which are included in the recall.

 

I previously received a notification letter from Toyota that my vehicle was involved in this Safety Recall. Is my vehicle involved?

Toyota started notifying owners about this Safety Recall in mid-February 2020, before it was determined that your vehicle is NOT involved in this recall. As a result, you may now disregard that previous notice.

 

How can I determine if my vehicle is involved in a Safety Recall?

You may visit www.toyota.com/recall and input your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) noted at the top of this letter to review information specific to your vehicle.

You may also visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls and input your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number for this information.

 

If I have a concern with my vehicle; what should I do?

As always, if you do not believe your vehicle is operating properly, you can visit your local authorized Toyota dealership for warranty or other service. Please be aware that you may be responsible for the initial diagnostic fees and any other repairs you may decide to have performed if your vehicle is no longer covered by the applicable Toyota warranty coverage.

 

What is the Toyota warranty coverage applicable to my vehicle’s fuel pump?

The low-pressure fuel pump in your vehicle is covered by Toyota’s warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles, or 7 years or 70,000 miles, depending on the state in which your vehicle was purchased/registered/operated (see your Warranty Booklet for details). There are other warranties that cover your vehicle as well.

 

What if I have other questions?

If you have additional questions or concerns, you can contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center (1-888-270-9371) – Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Time.

AVISO IMPORTANTE

SU VEHÍCULO NO ESTÁ INVOLUCRADO EN ESTE RETIRO DE SEGURIDAD 20TA02 (Notificación temporal 20TB02)

[VIN]

Estimado propietario de un Toyota:

Recientemente usted pudo haber recibido una notificación de Toyota, o de otra manera, pudo tener conocimiento de que su [make/model/MY] era parte de un retiro de seguridad de vehículo involucrando con bombas de combustible de baja presión las cuales pueden dejar de funcionar. Después de una investigación adicional, deseamos informarle que su vehículo NO ESTÁ INVOLUCRADO en este retiro. Le pedimos disculpas por cualquier inquietud o confusión que esto pudiera causarle y esperamos que esta notificación reduzca el inconveniente para usted.

 

¿Por qué mi vehículo no está involucrado en este Retiro de Seguridad?

Como medida extrema de precaución, Toyota incluyó su vehículo en este retiro cuando el retiro se inició a mediados de enero del 2020. Sin embargo, en ese momento, Toyota no había completado su investigación sobre la causa de un posible fallo en la bomba de combustible. Esa investigación ahora muestra que la bomba de combustible en su vehículo NO ESTÁ afectada y no necesita traer su vehículo al concesionario para reparación. Otros propietarios también han sido notificados sobre esto. En la medida que este retiro procede, Toyota solamente notificará a los propietarios de esos vehículos que están incluidos en este retiro.

 

Yo previamente recibí una carta de notificación de Toyota que mi vehículo estaba involucrado en este Retiro de Seguridad. ¿Está involucrado mi vehículo?

Toyota comenzó a notificar a los propietarios sobre este Retiro de Seguridad a mediados de febrero del 2020, antes de que se determinó que su vehículo NO estaba involucrado en este retiro. Como resultado, ahora ignore esa notificación previa.

 

¿Cómo puedo determinar si mi vehículo está involucrado en este Retiro de Seguridad?

Usted puede visitar www.toyota.com/recall e ingresar su número de identificación del vehículo (VIN) completo de 17 dígitos indicado en la parte superior de estar carta para revisar información específica a su vehículo.

Usted también puede visitar www.nhtsa.gov/recalls e ingresar su número de identificación del vehículo (VIN) completo de 17 dígitos para esta información.

 

Si yo tengo una inquietud con mi vehículo, ¿Qué debo hacer?

Como siempre, si usted cree que su vehículo no está funcionado adecuadamente, usted puede visitar su concesionario Toyota autorizado local para garantía u otro servicio. Por favor tenga en cuenta que usted pudiera ser responsable por las tarifas de diagnóstico inicial y cualquier otra reparación que usted decida realizar si su vehículo ya no está cubierto por la cobertura de garantía Toyota correspondiente.

 

¿Cuál es la cobertura de garantía Toyota correspondiente a la bomba de combustible de mi vehículo?

La bomba de combustible de baja presión en su vehículo está cubierta por la garantía de Toyota por 5 años o 60.000 millas o 7 años o 70.000 millas, dependiendo en el estado en el cual su vehículo fue comprado/registrado/ operado (consulte su Folleto de Garantía para más detalles). También hay otras garantías que cubren su vehículo.

 

¿Qué hacer si yo tengo otras preguntas?

Si usted tiene preguntas o inquietudes adicionales, puede comunicarse con el Centro de Experiencias del Cliente Toyota llamando al (1-888-270-9371), de lunes a viernes, de 7:00 a.m. a 7:00 p.m. y los sábados de 7:00 a.m. a 4:30 p.m., Horario del Centro.

Si quisiera actualizar la información de propiedad o de contacto de su vehículo, por favor visite https://www.toyota.com/recall/update-info-toyota. Necesitará el número de identificación del vehículo (VIN) completo de 17 dígitos para ingresar la nueva información.

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

The amended Defect Information Report (DIR) informs the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of Toyota’s intent to amend the prior voluntary Safety Recall to cover certain 2014 – 2015 model year 4Runner vehicles, certain 2018 – 2019 model year Camry, Highlander, Sequoia, Tacoma, Tundra, Corolla, and Avalon vehicles, certain 2014 model year FJ Cruiser vehicles, certain 2017 – 2019 model year Sienna, and certain 2014 – 2015 model year Land Cruiser vehicles.

Note: When this Safety Recall was first announced on January 13, 2020, there were approximately 564,300 vehicles covered. As of March 3, 2020, this Safety Recall has been amended to cover a total of approximately 1,433,050 vehicles.                                                   

 

Condition

The subject vehicles are equipped with a low-pressure fuel pump which may stop operating. If this were to occur, warning lights and messages may be displayed on the instrument panel, and the engine may run rough. This may result in a vehicle stall, and the vehicle may be unable to be restarted. If a vehicle stall occurs while driving at higher speeds, this could increase the risk of a crash.

 

Remedy

Toyota is currently preparing the remedy. When the remedy becomes available, any authorized Toyota dealer will replace the low-pressure fuel pump with an improved one FREE OF CHARGE.

 

Remedy ETA:

At this time, Toyota is currently preparing the necessary parts and repair instructions to begin a phased implementation of the remedy. Refer to the table below for dates that Toyota estimates the remedy will become available for each vehicle model.

Important Note: The dates specified in this table are estimates and are subject to change due to possible impacts of COVID-19.

Covered Vehicles

There are approximately 1,433,050 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Approximately 15,400 vehicles involved in this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico.

 

Removed Vehicles

After further investigation, Toyota’s current information indicates that approximately 74,600 vehicles, that were previously included when this Safety Recall was first announced on January 13, 2020, are not affected by this condition.  These vehicles have been removed from the Safety Recall.  Refer to the chart below for a summary of the vehicles that have been removed from this Safety Recall.

Model / Years	Production Period	Approximate Total Vehicles Removed
2018 – 2019 4Runner	Early August 2018 – Late January 2019	72,700
2018 – 2019 Land Cruiser		1,900

 

These removed VINs will now appear “Not applicable for VIN” in TIS Service Lane search as shown below:

Toyota will send an owner letter to owners of these vehicles explaining this situation.

A limited number of these vehicle owners may have been provided a rental vehicle during the interim period between the original announcement of this recall on January 13th, 2020 and the amendment filed on March 4th in which their vehicle was removed from the recall.

For rentals that have been provided to owners of vehicles that have been removed from the Safety Recall, Toyota requests that the dealership work with the customer to have the loaner returned. Dealers will have until April 23, 2020 to file rental claims for removed-vehicles.

Use TIS service lane to confirm if your dealership has provided a loaner to an owner of a removed vehicle. Removed VINs will appear “Not applicable for VIN” in TIS Service Lane search as shown above.

 

Owner Letter Mailing Date

Refer to the table below for the owner letter mailing period.

Applicable Vehicles	Letter Mailing Period	Attached Sample
Original vehicles covered from January 13, 2020 announcement.	Mid-February 2020 – Mid March 2020	Sample A
Vehicles added on March 3, 2020	Owners will be notified no later than early May 2020	Sample B
Vehicles removed on March 3, 2020	Mid-April 2020 – Early May 2020	Sample C

 

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 1,570 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of January 13, 2020.

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).

 

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.

 

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 quality_compliance@toyota.com. In the subject line of the email, state “Disclosure Form 20TA02/20TB02” 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.
