Affected part numbers are: pt207-34000, pt207-34002, pt207-04981, and pt214-04985. In the tundra vehicles,…
Why it matters: An electrical short or open circuit can cause a fault in the converter and a non-operational condition of the trailer lights. If the vehicle is driven without trailer lights, it may be difficult for other drivers to see the trailer, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will notify the customers and install a redesigned trailer towing wire harness converter free of charge. Owner notification began August 27, 2001.
