Recall date November 23, 2004
Models affected
  • 2004 Lexus RX
  • 2004 Toyota Prius
Units affected 8,568
Details

On certain vehicles equipped with a light emitting diode (LED) stop lamp, there is a possibility that silicon oxide may be generated on the surface of the contact point inside the stop lamp switch.

Consequently, current may not flow at the contact, causing the stop lamp to become inoperative.

The loss of stop lamps would result in failure to warn following drivers that the vehicle is braking and/or is stopped, which could lead to a vehicle crash.

Correction: Dealers will replace the stop lamp switch.
