25TA06 Recall on Reverse Lights

If they are within the recall range, they cannot legally be sold until the recall has been remedied.

 

Yeah..!! And rattling console, and my creaking seats, and my poor paint quality, and terrible factory spec alignment, and the wireless phone charger that doesn’t charge, and the interior lighting that doesn’t light up the interior, and the engine bearings that fail… etc etc.

 

443,000 is alot of trucks... wonder whether newly sitting inventory gets dibs?

 

I’d think they’d want to get those trucks back on the market asap

 

One of my backup lights shit the bed last year around this time. One of the pins on the light itself corroded off and caused a bit of trouble actually. My backup camera would turn on intermittently while driving and after a while I started getting the old park brake malfunction message. Dealership changed the light which appeared to have been quite cheap and easy and all was well again.

 

I'm surprised this recall isn't on the fogs as it seems they hold quite a bit of condensation and moisture versus the back up lights.
So as morbid curiosity got the best of me I had to look and see for myself and noticed dimples on each of the license plate lenses, are these there to enhance or direct more light on the plate or is it distorted due heat?
Leds do not throw much heat.I dunno.
Did any of you guys notice this too?

 

That definitely looks like a lens to focus light. I could be wrong but mine has been like that since new so pretty sure it’s not heat. LED’s don’t create much heat anyway.

 

high power LEDs do , lol. I have a few torches that get hot , but you can also light up the moon

 

Are fog lights known to be a problem?

 

Not that I'm aware of but,there's always condensation/moisture behind the lens.

 

I had my changed out under warranty about two years ago.

 

I just had them do the new tsb last week for this issue. Took them 2.5 hours but we shall see if it fixed the fuel gauge problem. The TSB came out about a month ago.

 

Mine has had the issue since day 1.

 

It's a large update to the Combination Meter and all done at USB 2.0 speeds. ~400MB or so.

 

That's probably the only thing I hate about LED lights. In the winter they don't melt the ice off the headlights like the old halogen, HID or even the incandescent headlights.

 

Here ya go my man,this shit has worked for me the past two winters here in New England.I put it on the front bumper sensors and head lights.

 

any luck? I'd definitely buy the form lights if I can get them installed by the dealer..

 

I have my last Toyota funded oil change next week, I'll ask then.

 

Had my last free visit this past week. No parts yet for the Reverse Light Recall

 

Recall states roll out starts 4th quarter for repair availability.

 

You enjoy wasting time at a dealership while they fix their faulty shit? Not me. Each visit is a minimum half day wasted for me.

3 safety recalls in 2 years of ownership for me, and my truck isn't even included in the engine recall. That's pretty bad, IMO.

 

did you wake up grouchy again Matt, that was over a month ago I posted that lol

and no I don’t enjoy it but I would rather they fix shit than not .

 

I'm a little grouchy. I dabble with trading stocks. One of my buys from last Friday, HIMS, had a weight loss drug deal fall thru. Sucker is down over 20% in pre-market. I'm going to take a beating on it.

Plus, I lost my spare FOB by foolishly hiding it in a waterproof magnetic box under my truck. Apparently the magnet wasn't as strong as I thought. So, that's another trip to the damn dealership for me. Yay!
