related CSP when circumstances permit, unless noted otherwise in the CSP dealer letter.

coverage under this CSP.

It is imperative that all media contacts (local and national) receive a consistent message. In this regard, all media contacts must be directed to
Ed Hellwig (469) 292-1165 in Toyota Corporate Communications. Please do not provide this number to customers. Please provide this
contact only to media.
Parts Ordering Process
It is possible that parts for this campaign are either required to be ordered in Campaign Part Order Request (CPOR) on Service Lane, or
have been placed on Manual Allocation Control (MAC) due to potential limited part availability. Please check the CPOR/MAC report on
Dealer Daily for the most up-to-date parts ordering information. Dealers can identify which parts ordering method to use by reviewing the
parts information section of Dealer Daily and checking for a MAC code on the part numbers below. For MAC code C, order through CPOR.
For MAC code D, refer to the MAC report for further instructions.
As this is a Customer Support Program, the condition MUST be verified by inspecting the vehicle. Therefore, dealers SHOULD NOT
increase their stock of related repair parts. Dealers are requested to only order parts for vehicles experiencing this condition only. DO NOT
ORDER FOR STOCK. As always, if a customer experiences the condition described, dealers should conduct appropriate diagnosis and
order the applicable parts.
