Toyota headlight aiming caps may have been improperly closed, allowing for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the exterior lighting headlights. Here is what owners need to know.
The headlight aiming caps may have been improperly closed, allowing for horizontal adjustment of the headlight beam. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
Adjusting the horizontal headlight beam can increase glare, reducing the visibility of an oncoming driver or the vehicle operator, increasing the risk of a crash.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will close the aiming caps on the headlights, free of charge.
