Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota will begin to notify owners in Late May, 2016. 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 Special Service Campaign 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 and Used Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (In-Stock Vehicles)
To ensure customer satisfaction Toyota requests that dealers conduct this Special Service Campaign remedy on any
new or used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Special Service Campaign prior to customer
delivery.
Also, as a reminder, Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV) policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an
outstanding Special Service Campaign or Safety Recall. Thus, no affected units should be sold or delivered as a
TCUV until the Special Service Campaign has been completed on that vehicle.
