Background
Toyota has received reports in which customers have indicated that there is an
illumination of the check engine light (Malfunction Indicator Light). This condition
can be due to moisture/water in the Air Injection Pumps and/or Air Switching
Valves.
Applicability
The Air Injection Pumps and Air Switching Valves are covered by Toyota’s New
Vehicle Limited Warranty* for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first)
and by the California Emission Warranty** for 3 years or 50,000 miles (whichever
occurs first). However, Toyota is announcing a Customer Support Program to
cover repairs related to illumination of the check engine light (Malfunction
Indicator Light) due to moisture/water in the Air Injection Pumps and/or Air
Switching Valves.
Primary Coverage offers the Customer Support Program until February 28,
2019, regardless of mileage.
After the Primary Coverage period ends, the Secondary Coverage is applicable
for 10 (ten) years from the date of first use, regardless of mileage.
Verify VIN applicability for this Customer Support Program by checking TIS
(Technical Information System) before completing any repairs.
Direct marketing of this Customer Support Program is strictly prohibited pursuant
to the Toyota Warranty Policy 5.21, “Warranty Solicitation.” Non-compliance of
this policy may result in a claim debit.
*This Customer Support Program is subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in the Toyota
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. For example, damage from abuse, an accident, theft and/or vandalism,
or repairs to vehicles which are currently or were previously titled as “scrap,” “salvage,” or “dismantled”
are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty or by this Customer Support Program (see, for
example, Warranty Policy 4.17, “What Is Not Covered by the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty”).
**The California Emission Warranty coverage only applies to certain states and certain model
year/engine type Tacoma vehicles. Please refer to Toyota Warranty Policy 4.7 for additional
