## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2018\-2021 Tundra vehicles.  The headlight electrical circuits may power the high and low beams simultaneously, which could overheat the electrical connector.

## The remedy

Dealers will modify the engine wire harness assembly and replace any damaged bulb, bulb connector, and/or headlight assembly as necessary, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed April 25, 2022.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's numbers for this recall are 21TB06 and 21TA06.
