## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2026 bZ Woodland vehicles equipped with a tow converter. An electrical short circuit may occur within the tow converter printed circuit board, which can deactivate the electronic stability control system and cause the brake lights to remain illuminated. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards numbers 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems for Light Vehicles” and 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."


## What can happen

Driving with a disabled electronic stability control system or continuously illuminated brake lights can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace the tow converter, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 30, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB15 and 26TA15.
