To: All Cold Climate States Toyota Dealer Principals, Service Manager, and Parts Managers Subject: Limited Service Campaign (LSC) D0D 2004 through 2006 Model Year Tundra Vehicles Corrosion-Resistant Compound (CRC) Application Toyota will initiate a Limited Service Campaign (LSC D0D) to inspect and, based upon Toyota’s inspection criteria, apply Corrosion-Resistant Compounds (CRC) to key areas of the frame assembly of certain 2004-2006 model year Tundra vehicles without significant rust perforation until July 31, 2015. This campaign covers vehicles currently registered in the following cold climate states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) (together, “Cold Climate States”): CT, DE, IL, IN, KY, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, VA, VT, WI & WV *Please refer to the CRC application Technical Instructions for the inspection procedure and CRC application. D0D will be rolled out on a state-by-state basis, with the first states beginning in mid-August 2013. Condition Toyota has received reports that certain 2004 through 2006 model year Tundra vehicles operated in specific cold climate areas with high road salt usage may exhibit more-than-normal corrosion to the vehicle’s frame. Toyota investigated these reports and determined that the frames in some vehicles may not have corrosionresistant protection sufficient for use in these areas. This, combined with prolonged exposure to road salts and other environmental factors, may contribute to the development of more than normal rust in the frame of some vehicles. This condition is unrelated to and separate from normal surface rust which is commonly found on metallic surfaces after some years of usage and/or exposure to the environment. D0D – D – Page 2 Limited Service Campaign (LSC) Remedy Over the next few months, owners of the covered vehicles will receive a notification requesting them to bring their vehicles to an authorized participating Toyota dealership in the Cold Climate States. The dealership will inspect the condition of the vehicle’s frame. Based upon the results of the inspection, the dealership will do one of the following: If significant rust perforation is not found, the dealer will apply Corrosion-Resistant Compounds (CRC) to key areas of the vehicle’s frame at no charge to the owner. If significant rust perforation is found, the dealer will replace the vehicle’s frame at no charge to the owner. Customers will have until July 31, 2015, to have the inspection of the vehicle’s frame and the CRC application completed. If before the July 31, 2015, expiration date an authorized Toyota dealer (in a Cold Climate State) confirms that the vehicle’s frame has significant rust perforation, the appropriate repairs must be completed within three months of the inspection date*. Please schedule all inspection and CRC appointments well in advance of the July 31, 2015, expiration date to ensure that your dealership has sufficient time to complete this Limited Service Campaign. Please note: All vehicles must have the campaign completed by the deadlines outlined above. *Due to facility and staffing challenges when scheduling and performing frame replacements and the production and shipping of the frames and associated parts. 1. Owner Notification The owner notification will commence approximately 2 weeks after your state has been launched. 2. Dealer/Owner Lists Summary Reports containing the number of covered vehicles in your dealership’s Primary Marketing Area (PMA) have been enclosed in the dealer package. Based upon our records, a dealership which does not have a covered vehicle in their PMA will receive a report indicating so. 3. Vehicle Coverage There are approximately 78,000 Tundra (certain 2004 – 2006 model year) vehicles covered by LSC D0D.
