1 aftermarket equipment / tire recall replacement parts sold to fit this car, not the car itself
Trailer hitch Equipment recall #01E041000 · 2001 · 70,717 vehicles

What's wrong: Equipment description: this recall is for trailer towing wire harness converters installed by dealers or for installation on 1999-2000 Toyota tundra and tacoma vehicles. The connectors integrate the vehicle's tail lights, brake lights, and turn signal lights with those equipped on the trailer, are defective. 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.
