What this recall means for you
Some 2018-2020 Toyota Tundra trucks with LED headlight assemblies have a wiring error that can make the front turn signals and hazard lights flash less brightly than required by federal lighting standards.
If the turn signals or hazard lamps are not bright enough, other drivers may not notice that you are turning, changing lanes, or stopping under hazard lights, which raises the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and authorized dealers will modify the wire harness connected to the front turn signal bulbs at no cost to you. To check whether your truck is included, contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-270-9371 (Toyota recall numbers 20TB12/20TA12), or check your VIN for open recalls.
