What this recall means for you
A short circuit may occur in the printed circuit board of the tow converter on certain vehicles. This can deactivate the electronic stability control system and cause the brake lights to stay illuminated, so the vehicle does not meet federal safety standards for electronic stability control and lamps.
Driving with stability control disabled or with brake lights that stay on can increase the risk of a crash. Owners should be aware that the stability control system may not be working as designed.
The repair is free. Authorized Toyota dealers will replace the tow converter at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 30, 2026. You can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, and you can check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
