Active Grille Shutter
Engine Warning Light May Illuminate
Model / Years
2024 Tacoma

Production Period
Early January 2024 – Late April
2024

Approximate Total Vehicles
3,200

Condition
An incorrectly sized seal can allow water or moisture to enter a connector on the Active Grille Shutter. This
can cause the engine warning light to illuminate and/or the Active Grille Shutter to no longer open or close
as designed.
Remedy
Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect the wire harness connector for the Active Grille Shutter for water
damage or intrusion and, based on inspection result, replace the wire harness or grill shutter assembly FREE

OF CHARGE.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 3,200 vehicles covered by this Special Service Campaign. Approximately 80 vehicles
involved in this Special Service Campaign were distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota will begin to notify owners in late November 2024. A sample of the owner notification letter has been
included for your reference.
Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state
through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a
vehicle that was sold prior to the Special Service Campaign announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility
to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.
Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who
has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing
repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.

Dealer Inventory Procedures
New and Used Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (In-Stock Vehicles)
To ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota requests that dealers complete this Special Service Campaign on any
used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Special Service Campaign prior to customer
delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts availability),
delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in a Special
Service Campaign.
Toyota expects dealers to visit https://toyota-recall-disclosure.imagespm.info/ and complete a Customer
Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along
with the most current FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Toyota and the dealer may use this information to contact
the customer when the remedy becomes available. Keep the completed form on file at the dealership.
NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle
Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The
Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.

Parts Recovery Procedures
All parts replaced as part of this Special Service Campaign must be turned over to the parts department until
appropriate disposition is determined. The parts department must retain these parts until notification via the
Parts Recovery System (PRS) is received indicating whether to ship or scrap the parts. These parts are utilized
by various departments for defect analysis, quality control analysis, product evaluation, as well as other
purposes.
To help minimize dealer storage challenges, Toyota recommends that dealers:
• File the campaign claim accurately and promptly. The time a dealer is required to hold parts is based on
when the campaign claim is paid by Toyota.
• Monitor the Warranty Parts Recovery Notifications and Part Scrap Report regularly.
Refer to Warranty Policies 9.3 and 9.6 for additional details.
Emissions Repair Procedures for California Dealers
As this Special Service Campaign includes emission related parts, California dealers are requested to fill out
the Vehicle Emissions Recall – Proof of Correction form and affix an Authorized Modification Label to the
vehicle after repairs have been completed.
The vehicle owner may require the Proof of Correction form for vehicle
registration renewal. It is important to note that the forms are an official

state document and blank forms must be secured to prevent misuse.
Please complete the form and provide it to the owner. The first noncompleted VINs will be submitted to the California state DMV by early
[June 2025]. If the vehicle owner’s warranty claim will not be processed
and paid prior to this date, please be sure to complete a form and
provide it to a California owner.
Install the Authorized Modifications Label after the repairs have
been completed. Using a permanent marker, fill out the label and
affix it to the location under the hood as indicted.
Form booklets and Authorization Labels can be ordered from the
MDC (Booklet material number 00410-92007, Label material
number 00451-00001-LBL ).

Special Service Campaign 24TC06 (Remedy Notice)
[VIN]
Dear Toyota Customer:
At Toyota, we are dedicated to providing vehicles of outstanding quality and value. As part of our continuing
efforts to provide superior customer satisfaction, Toyota is announcing a Special Service Campaign, 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 condition?
An incorrectly sized seal can allow water or moisture to enter a connector on the Active Grille Shutter. This
can cause the engine warning light to illuminate and/or the Active Grille Shutter to no longer open or close
as designed.
What is the Active Grille Shutter?
Located behind the vehicle’s lower grille opening, the Active Grille Shutter will open and close depending on
a variety of conditions to help the engine maintain suitable operating and cooling temperatures. At higher
speeds, the Active Grille Shutter will remain closed to reduce aerodynamic drag from flowing through the
engine compartment and thus enhance fuel economy.
What will Toyota do?
Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect the wire harness connector for the Active Grille Shutter for
water damage or intrusion and, based on inspection result, replace the wire harness or grill shutter
assembly FREE OF CHARGE.
What should you do?
Please contact your authorized Toyota dealer to make an appointment to have the repair performed.
The remedy will require parts replacement. Please contact your dealer to schedule an appointment in
advance to confirm parts availability and minimize your inconvenience.

What if you live in California and don’t have this Special Service Campaign performed?
The state of California requires the completion of Safety Recalls / Service Campaigns on emission related parts
prior to vehicle registration renewal. In addition, the State requires that every vehicle must pass an emission
test (SMOG Check) every two years and before it is sold. Without the completion of this NO CHARGE Special
Service Campaign the California Air Resources Board (CARB) will not allow your vehicle to be registered. State

of California Regulations require Toyota to provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with a record of all
vehicles that have not had the Special Service Campaign completed.
Your Toyota dealer will provide you with a Vehicle Emissions Recall Proof of Correction Form after the
campaign has been completed. Please ensure you retain this form, because the DMV may require that you
supply proof that the campaign has been completed during your vehicle registration renewal process.
What if you have previously paid for repairs to your vehicle for this specific condition?
If you have previously paid for repair(s) to your vehicle for this specific condition prior to receiving this letter,
you may be eligible for reimbursement. For reimbursement consideration, please submit a copy of your repair
details (for example: a repair order), proof-of-payment, and ownership information to Toyota’s online, selfservice portal. Log-in to your Toyota Owners account at https:/www.toyota.com/owners/, click on the
“Resources” tab, select “Safety Recalls and Service Campaigns”, and click on “Submit Reimbursement
Request”.
