What is the difference between a Type #2 (15CY) and Type #3/#4 (19CY) Smart Key?
The Type #2 (15CY) and Type #3/Type #4 (19CY) Smart Keys have a different design and use different
semiconductors. The models that use these different types of Smart Keys are explained in the chart
below. Due to differences in the supply of the semiconductors used, the timeline for each type is
different.

How long will the shortage last?
We continue to work diligently to minimize the impact to our customers. At this time, we estimate that
all models will return to production with two (2) Smart Keys in February 2024.

How will Toyota notify customers when their second Smart Key is available?
We plan to notify affected customers by first class mail when second keys are available and ask
customers to return to a Toyota dealer with their vehicle and original Smart Key so dealers can program
a new second key and provide it to the customer. The mailing will also occur in phases, and the timing
will be approximately one week after the announcement of each phase.

Is the second Smart Key delivery part of Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty?
No. The second key delivery is not considered part of Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This is
simply the delivery of the second Smart Key included in the purchase of the vehicle, but which was
unavailable at the time of the vehicle delivery due to the ongoing chip shortage situation.

A customer recently had a new Smart Key registered to their vehicle and now there is a message on
the Multi-Information Display (MID) about a new key being registered. Is this normal?
Yes. Depending on the model, a message may display for up to 10 days and is intended to provide the
owner a notice that a new key has been registered. This message is displayed to inform the owner that
a new key has been registered and help prevent the vehicle from being stolen if the registration was
unauthorized. Refer to the Repair Manual or Owner’s Manual for more information.

What if a customer has lost their original key or has an urgent need for a second key, but is not yet
eligible for the program because they are involved in a later phase?
If a customer has lost their only Smart Key or has an urgent need for a second key, please provide them
with a second key as a goodwill gesture if they are involved in a later phase. For other extenuating
circumstances, please have the customer contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center for further
assistance.

How does Toyota obtain my mailing information?
Toyota uses an industry provider who works with each state’s Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to
receive registration or title information, based upon the DMV records. Please make sure your
registration or title information is correct.

What if I have additional questions or concerns?
If you have additional questions or concerns, please contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at
1-888-270-9371 Monday through Friday, 8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Saturday 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Eastern
Time.

The table below describes the phases currently planned for the
Second Key Delivery Program and the estimated timing of
announcement. This table will be updated over time as more
details become available.

Dealers can identify which models were produced with one (1)
Smart Key and which phase a vehicle belongs to using the chart
below.
Example: Customer has a 4Runner produced in December 2022.
Confirm the production date of the vehicle against the Start and
End Production Dates in the table below to confirm if the vehicle
was produced with one (1) Smart Key. If so, check the color of the
box corresponding to the model and production month in the
table below, and compare to the Phase summary table to the
left. The box for 4Runner produced in December has a dark
green color which means it is part of Phase 1, which is currently
estimated to be announced in June 2023.

Second Key Delivery Program
[VIN]
Dear Toyota Customer:
At Toyota, we are dedicated to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. As a result of a global semiconductor
shortage, your vehicle was delivered with only one (1) Smart Key, instead of two. As supply of Smart Keys improves, Toyota is
announcing a Second Key Delivery Program, which includes your vehicle.
You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you
are the current owner.
What is the reason for the program?
The subject vehicles were delivered with only one (1) Smart Key on select models since October 2022 due to a global
semiconductor shortage impacting certain microchips. The affected vehicles were delivered with one (1) Smart Key and a second
mechanical key.
What will Toyota do?
Any authorized Toyota dealer will duplicate and provide the owner with one (1) additional Smart Key FREE OF CHARGE.
What should you do?
To minimize inconvenience, please contact your authorized Toyota dealer to make an appointment to have the additional
Smart Key transmitter duplicated and provided to you. This will require your dealer to order a new key for your vehicle
in advance of your appointment. We recommend you contact your dealer to schedule an appointment in advance to
confirm parts availability and minimize your inconvenience. The registration of the new key will take approximately 45
minutes. However, depending on the dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a
longer period of time.
