In November 2004, Toyota filed a statutory recall with Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) concerning the Brake lamp, covering the Hiace Van, Hiace Wagon and 4 more models. The filing affects 653,715 vehicles manufactured between November 1989 and April 30, 2000.

|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | November 4, 2004 |

| Vehicles affected | 653,715 units |
Filing in context
The Brake lamp is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 10 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 26 Toyota notifications from 2004 in this archive. For scale, 51 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 10 years and 5 months.
Defect
The red lens shared by the tail lamp and brake lamp in the rear combination lamp has insufficient weather resistance. Prolonged exposure to intense sunlight causes the red color to gradually fade, and the lamp output color may no longer conform to Safety Standards. (Note: This recall was originally filed on November 4, 2004. A correction to the range of vehicle identification numbers, production period, and unit count was issued on December 10, 2004, after errors were found in the original vehicle selection.)
Corrective action
All owners are notified of the lens fading issue. If the red color of the combined tail and brake lamp lens has faded and appears white compared to the rear reflector red lens, the rear combination lamp is replaced with a corrected part.
