Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“The headlamps on the Toyota 4RUNNER have a defect in the uv coating (see TSB-0081-12). The accelerated deterioration of the headlamp clarity causes a significant decline in the light output of the headlamps. The deterioration of the light output is a safety issue.”
