Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to quality_compliance@toyotaeBay logo.com. In the subject line of the email state
“Disclosure Form KLG” 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

launched campaigns.

Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as L/Certified until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service
