What's wrong, in plain English
On some Toyota Venza Hybrid vehicles, water may get into the rear turn signal LED lights. If water gets in, condensation can form on the circuit board inside the light, which may cause a short circuit. This issue involves the rear turn signal lights at the back of the vehicle. Because of this, these vehicles may not meet a federal safety standard covering vehicle lamps and lighting equipment.
