| Model Year | 2017 |
| File date | 28/02/17 |
| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The dash lighting during certain daylight conditions is unreadable, or requires excessive staring to determine quantities such as vehicle speed, fuel amount, and other quantities on the multi function information display (mfid). Whether it is unreadable depends on the angle of the sun relative to the vehicle. The inability to quickly see what is inadequately displayed forces the driver to either guess the speed or to stare too long in an attempt to ascertain the speed. This is a safety hazard. (i believe it affects other toyota models as well as my rav4 ev). *js *js |
