What's wrong, in plain English

Toyota says electrical interference in a power supply circuit inside your vehicle can cause the electronic stability control system to be deactivated. This means the system could turn off without warning. As a result, the vehicle does not meet the federal safety standard that applies to electronic stability control systems.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer to schedule the free software update, or call Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371.
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
