Filing in context
The Headlamps is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 7 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 46 Toyota notifications from 2023 in this archive. For scale, 4,451 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 2 years and 3 months.
Defect
These vehicles were prototyped or converted as hydrogen fuel cell automobiles. Due to improper design of the peripheral components involved in the conversion: (1) No electrical wiring connects to the brake fluid level sensor, so the brake warning lamp does not illuminate when fluid level drops. (2) No front fog lamp indicator is provided, preventing the driver from confirming when the front fog lamps are activated. (3) The automatic headlamp activation system (auto-light system) is not installed and does not function.
Corrective action
(1) Add electrical wiring to the brake fluid level sensor. (2) Depending on vehicle specification, either add a front fog lamp indicator lamp or disable the front fog lamp function. (3) Install the auto-light system.
