What's wrong, in plain English

Toyota is recalling certain Tundra trucks equipped with LED headlight assemblies. Because of a wiring error, the front turn signals may not flash brightly enough. This means the turn signal and hazard lights might not be as visible to other drivers as they should be. Dealers will fix the wire harness connected to the front turn signal bulbs to correct the problem, at no cost to owners.

What you should do

1. Check whether your VIN is affected at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer to schedule the repair (1-800-270-9371).
3. The repair is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 20V410000.
