Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state
through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a
vehicle that was sold prior to the Special Service Campaign announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility
to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.

has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs.

Dealer Inventory Procedures
New and Used Vehicles in Dealership Inventory (In-Stock Vehicles)
To ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota requests that dealers complete this Special Service Campaign on any
new or used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Special Service Campaign prior to
customer delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts
availability), delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved
in a Special Service Campaign.
Toyota expects dealers to use the attached Customer Contact and Vehicle Disclosure Form to obtain vehicle
buyer information. Dealers are expected to provide a copy of the completed form, along with the most current
FAQ, to the vehicle buyer. Toyota and the dealer may use this information to contact the customer when the
remedy becomes available.
Keep the completed form on file at the dealership and send a copy to [email protected]. In the
subject line of the email state “Disclosure Form 22TC07” and include the VIN.
NOTE: Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle
Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/). The
Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.
Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV)
The TCUV policy prohibits the certification of any vehicle with an outstanding Safety Recall, Special Service
Campaign, or Limited Service Campaign. Thus, no affected units are to be designated, sold, or delivered as
a TCUV until all applicable Safety Recalls, Special Service Campaigns, and Limited Service Campaigns have
been completed on that vehicle.

Customers who receive head unit notification regarding this Special Service Campaign are requested to

pop-up prompt stating that the vehicle has a new Special Service Campaign. The prompt will contain options
to ‘Remind Me’ or to ‘View’ the message. If a customer chooses ‘Remind Me’, the customer can then choose to
be reminded again on next trip, in 7 days, or in 30 days. If a customer views and then closes the message, the
message will be available in the Notification App if the customer chooses to review it again. If the vehicle’s
completion status remains incomplete for a period of 90 days from the message being viewed, the head unit
may display a renotification pop-up prompt as an additional reminder to the customer to have this Special
Service Campaign completed.
The message will completely clear from the vehicle once the following conditions are met: The Special Service
Campaign is completed, the dealer has filed a claim, and the claim is approved by Toyota. Then the message
will be cleared at the next clearing cycle, which currently happens daily.
Owners who receive a head unit notification after having this Special Service Campaign completed can be

this repair are required to successfully complete the most current version of the E-Learning course “Safety
Recall and Service Campaign Essentials”. To ensure that all vehicles have the repair performed correctly;
technicians performing this repair are required to currently hold at least one of the following certification
levels:
• T623 Toyota Electrical Circuit Diagnosis
Always check which technicians can perform the repair by logging on to https://www.uotdealerreports.com.
It is the dealership’s responsibility to select technicians with the above certification level or greater to perform
this repair. Carefully review your resources, the technician skill level, and ability before assigning technicians
to this repair. It is important to consider technician days off and vacation schedules to ensure there are
properly trained technicians available to perform this repair at all times.

who performed the repair) to verify the repair quality of every vehicle prior to customer delivery.
Parts Recovery Procedures

appropriate disposition is determined. The parts department must retain these parts until notification via the
Parts Recovery System (PRS) is received indicating whether to ship or scrap the parts. These parts are utilized
by various departments for defect analysis, quality control analysis, product evaluation, as well as other
purposes.
To help minimize dealer storage challenges, Toyota recommends that dealers:
• File the campaign claim accurately and promptly. The time a dealer is required to hold parts is based on
when the campaign claim is paid by Toyota.
• Monitor the Warranty Parts Recovery Notifications and Part Scrap Report regularly.
