   Issue: On certain vehicles, the wire harness for the front turn signal lights was assembled incorrectly. As a result, the turn signals and hazard warning lights are not bright enough to meet Canadian regulations. This could cause other road users not to notice when the signal or hazard warning lights are turned on. Safety Risk: Signal lights that are not bright enough could make the vehicle less visible to others, and could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to modify the wire harness for the front turn signal lights.
