Toyota Tundra VXKH75 (2023–2024)
What the hazard is
If the stop lamps become inoperative, other road users may not be aware that the vehicle is slowing or stopping, increasing the risk of an accident, which could result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.
What to do
Toyota will contact affected owners in writing, requesting they make an appointment at their preferred Toyota dealer who will rectify the vehicle, free of charge.
Defect
Due to a manufacturing defect, vehicles equipped with a towing converter relay may have insufficient insulation on a wire within the relay assembly. This may may cause a short circuit, resulting in the stop lamps becoming inoperative. If this condition occurs and the vehicle is subsequently switched off, it may not be possible to restart the vehicle.
