What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a defect that increases the risk of a crash due to reduced visibility of turn signals, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2018-2020 Toyota Tundra vehicles equipped with LED headlight assemblies. The recall involves 183,397 vehicles. The defect is a wiring error that causes the front turn signals to not flash brightly enough, meaning the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 108.
If the turn signals or hazard lamps do not flash brightly enough, other drivers may fail to see that the functions have been activated, which increases the risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will modify the wire harness connected to the front turn signal bulbs free of charge. The recall began on August 17, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-270-9371 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
