Frequently Asked Questions
Original Publication Date: August 3, 2021
Q1: What is the condition?
The subject vehicles are manufactured by BMW. According to BMW
, the subject vehicles have been equipped with an engine management software that, under certain specific engine start conditions, could damage a component that provides braking power assistance. In this condition, there could be a loss in the brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. This can lead to an increased risk of a crash.
Q1a: What are the specific engine start conditions where this condition could occur?
Rapidly pressing the engine start button twice or brief application of the brake pedal when pressing the engine start button can cause this condition to occur.

When starting the engine, firmly press the brake pedal until the engine has started and press the start button only once. Refer to the owner’s manual for further details regarding vehicle starting procedure instructions.
Q1c: Are there any warning that this condition exists?
If the condition has occurred, the brake pedal will feel firmer than usual and the stopping distance will be increased due to the lack of brake assistance.

Chronology :
In February 2021, an increasing number of warranty claims that seemed to be associated with damage to an oil/vacuum pump were noticed. An engineering review was initiated.
Between February and April, warranty claim information and other field data were reviewed, and discussions with the supplier occurred. Analyses were conducted to determine if the issue could be related to certain vehicle models, oil/vacuum pump build level configurations, or vehicle operating conditions. Preliminary information suggested that engine management software could be involved.
In May and June, additional analyses were performed and tests were conducted. It was suggested that certain pump parameter specifications, in combination with certain vehicle operating conditions (unusual engine start conditions caused by the vehicle operator), could cause a brief reverse rotation of the crankshaft and cause damage to the oil/vacuum pump.
In July, further analyses were conducted involving vehicle operating conditions and assessment of risk.
Vehicle assembly information was reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles.
On July 26, 2021, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall.
As of July 26th, a diligent review of records has determined that there are approximately 29 warranty claims (BMW – 24, Toyota
–5), and 4 field reports (BMW
– 2, Toyota
– 2), that may be related to this issue.

Dealer Inventory Procedures New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory There are approximately 260 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of August 3, 2021. 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/).

On August 2, 2021 BMW filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of their intent to conduct a Safety Recall on certain 2020 – 2021 model year Supra vehicles. Condition The subject vehicles are manufactured by BMW. According to BMW, the subject vehicles have been equipped with an engine management software that, under certain specific engine start conditions, could damage a component that provides braking power assistance. In this condition, there could be a loss in the brake assist and an increase in stopping distance. This can lead to an increased risk of a crash. Remedy Any authorized Toyota dealer will update the engine control unit (ECU) FREE OF CHARGE. NOTE: The remedy for this Safety Recall (21TA04) addresses the condition of Safety Recall 19TA19. As a result, Safety Recall 19TA19 is no longer active as of August 20, 2021. All vehicles involved in Safety Recall 19TA19 (whether the remedy was completed or not) are now included in this Safety Recall (21TA04). Covered Vehicles There are approximately 13,000 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Approximately 80 vehicles involved in this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico. S a f e t y R e c a l l 2 1 T A 0 4 – D – P a g e | 2 © 2021 Toyota Motor Sales, USA Owner Letter Mailing Date Toyota will begin notifying owners starting early September 2021. 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 110 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of August 3, 2021. 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. S a f e t y R e c a l l 2 1 T A 0 4 – D – P a g e | 3 © 2021 Toyota Motor Sales, USA 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. 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 21TA04” 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.

Q1a: What are the specific engine start conditions where this condition could occur? A1a: Rapidly pressing the engine start button twice or brief application of the brake pedal when pressing the engine start button can cause this condition to occur. Q1b: Until the remedy is performed, what can I do to prevent the condition from occurring? A1b: When starting the engine, firmly press the brake pedal until the engine has started and press the start button only once. Refer to the owner’s manual for further details regarding vehicle starting procedure instructions. Q1c: Are there any warning that this condition exists? A1c: If the condition has occurred, the brake pedal will feel firmer than usual and the stopping distance will be increased due to the lack of brake assistance. Additionally, the low engine oil pressure warning light (shown below) may illuminate. If you experience a firm brake pedal or the low engine oil pressure warning light illuminates while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place immediately and contract your Toyota dealer who can arrange for vehicle pickup.

The specific engine start conditions consist of either 1) pressing the engine start/stop button two times in rapid succession, or 2) depressing the brake pedal very briefly while pressing the engine start/stop button. This could result in a loss of brake assist. However, prior to a loss of brake assist, the full brake assist function is available for approximately two or three full brake applications, or approximately six partial brake applications. Fully mechanical braking (without assist) is not affected, and remains available.

An engineering review was initiated. Between February and April, warranty claim information and other field data were reviewed, and discussions with the supplier occurred. Analyses were conducted to determine if the issue could be related to certain vehicle models, oil/vacuum pump build level configurations, or vehicle operating conditions. Preliminary information suggested that engine management software could be involved. In May and June, additional analyses were performed and tests were conducted. It was suggested that certain pump parameter specifications, in combination with certain vehicle operating conditions (unusual engine start conditions caused by the vehicle operator), could cause a brief reverse rotation of the crankshaft and cause damage to the oil/vacuum pump. In July, further analyses were conducted involving vehicle operating conditions and assessment of risk. Vehicle assembly information was reviewed to determine the number and production dates of potentially affected vehicles. On July 26, 2021, BMW decided to conduct a voluntary recall. As of July 26th, a diligent review of records has determined that there are approximately 29 warranty claims (BMW – 24, Toyota –5), and 4 field reports (BMW – 2, Toyota – 2), that may be related to this issue. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : The engine management software will be updated. Owners will be notified by First Class mail and instructed to take their vehicle to an authorized BMW / Toyota dealer to have the remedy performed for free. If this condition was noticed on a potentially affected vehicle prior to this recall, the remedy would be covered by the BMW / Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty program. Therefore, reimbursement for a pre-notification remedy re Part 573.13 and Part 577.11 is not necessary.
