drivetrain vibration and/or drivetrain noise. If the vehicle continues to be driven

shaft.
Applicability

the Powertrain Warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
However, Toyota is announcing a Customer Support Program to cover repairs
related to the propeller shaft.
Primary Coverage offers the Customer Support Program until April 30, 2019,
with no mileage limitation.
After the Primary Coverage period ends, the Secondary Coverage is applicable
for 12 (twelve) years from the date of first use, with no mileage limitation.

(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” is 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
