Reported risk: Issue:
On a small number of vehicles, water could leak into the starter relay and cause it to corrode. If this happens, the relay could short circuit and the starter could overheat.
Note: This recall only affects certain vehicles equipped with a 2.0 L engine.
Safety Risk:
A short circuit and/or a starter that overheats can create a fire risk, even while the vehicle is parked and turned off.
Corrective Actions:
To reduce the safety risk, Toyota advises that you should park your vehicle outdoors and away from other vehicles or structures until the recall repairs have been completed. Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the engine starter.
