## What is wrong

Issue:

On certain vehicles, the battery hold\-down assembly may not properly secure certain 12 V aftermarket batteries. As a result, the battery could shift positions and cause the positive battery post to contact the hold down bracket. If this happens, there could be a short circuit.

Safety Risk:

A short circuit could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Actions:

Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the battery clamp sub\-assembly, battery tray, and positive terminal cover.
