Description of the problem | Noted during wash that the daytime running lights have a quarter size melted spot directly in front of the bulb and one lens has cracked apparently from heat and the near proximity of the bulb to lens. Potential may exist where this could cause a fire. It appears that no recall is being processed to address this manufacturer issue and many people are experiencing the problem form the 2008/9 year through 2011. Toyota may have corrected the issue in 2012/13 year time frame yet they still have many vehicles operating with the threatening problem which could impact lives. |
