T-SB-0044-162018-07-02. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT ADAPTIVE/MOBILITY; STRUCTURE. TSB: On some vehicles, when Rapgard? is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat (repainting this area is not necessary). The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard?. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces, such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to remove the trapped moisture.
T-SB-0047-162018-06-11. Service bulletin. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM; EQUIPMENT; EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. TSB: The breather plug should be replaced during any differential/transfer case repairs to prevent possible repeat failures. The subsequent use of the original breather plug after a repair has been found to contribute to the failure of the differential/transfer case components. Replace the breather plug when replacing differential/transfer case components.
ZH1 Updated U7602018-06-11. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL; POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:TORQUE CONVERTER. Dealer Letter: December 13, 2017. Description of the covered transmissions has been corrected. In these vehicles, Toyota has received some reports where vehicles may exhibit a brief intermittent shudder during torque converter flex lock up. This shudder may be observed while driving under light throttle conditions between approximately 25 ? 50 mph. Although the Torque Converter is covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 5 years or 60,000 miles (whichever occurs first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is now extending the warranty coverage for repairs related to Torque Converter Shudder. The following information is provided to inform you and your staff of the program notification schedule and your degree of involvement.
