## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2021 Venza Hybrid vehicles.  Water may enter the rear turn signal LED lights, allowing condensation to form on the circuit board, and causing a short circuit.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

A short circuit can cause dimming or failure of the rear turn signals and hazard lights, reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace both rear turn signal LED bulbs and replace the rear turn signal light assembly as necessary, free of charge.  Interim owner notification letters, informing owners of the safety risk, were mailed March 18, 2022.  Remedy parts are expected to be available by June 30, 2022.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's number for this recall is 22TB01/22TA01.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
