DISTRIBUTE TO: Service Manager Warranty Administrator Customer Support Program Bulletin No.: Date: Page: POL19-04 4/18/2019 1 of 5 SUBJECT: CUSTOMER SUPPORT PROGRAM BULLETIN (ZJC): REPAIR COVERAGE FOR UA80 TRANSMISSION ON CERTAIN 2017-2018 MY SIENNA AND CERTAIN 2017-2018 MY HIGHLANDER VEHICLES Background Toyota has received reports indicating potential symptoms, such as a whine noise from the transmission while driving, harsh shifting, reduced power, and master warning light/check engine light illumination, in the subject vehicles that are equipped with a model UA80 transmission. There is a possibility that a washer tab, designed to prevent the loosening of a nut inside the affected transmissions, was not sufficiently bent during assembly. This could lead to the nut loosening and, over time, lead to the symptoms described above. Applicability The UA80 Transmission is covered by Toyota’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty* for Powertrain, for 5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first). However, because we at Toyota care about each customer’s ownership experience, Toyota is now offering a voluntary Customer Support Program. This Program applies to repairs related to damage to the UA80 transmission caused by a loose washer tab and resulting in the symptoms described above, regardless of whether the vehicle is out of warranty. The timing of any repair under this voluntary Customer Support Program is subject to parts availability. Primary Coverage offers the Customer Support Program until October 31, 2020, regardless of mileage. After the Primary Coverage, the Secondary Coverage is applicable for 10 years from the vehicle’s date of first use, regardless of mileage. Direct marketing of this Customer Support Program is strictly prohibited pursuant to the Toyota Warranty Policy 5.21, “Warranty Solicitation.” Non-compliance of this Policy may result in a claim debit. *This coverage is for work performed at an authorized Toyota dealer only. It is subject to the same terms and conditions set forth in the New Vehicle Limited Warranty Section of the Owner’s Warranty Information booklet. For example, damage from abuse, an accident, theft and/or vandalism is not covered.
