• 96V037000Feb 20, 1996756 vehicles potentially affected
  Exterior lighting › Tail lights
  Covers: Toyota Camry 1996

  Reported issue: The plastic material of the bulb holders of the rear tail light assembly does not have sufficient heat resistance. When the bulb is illuminated, the resulting high temperature can cause the bulb holder to deform.

  Possible consequence: As the bulb holder deforms, the bulb can lose electrical contact, resulting in an inoperative lamp, increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect the rear combination lamp bulb holder to see if it is the defective material. The defective bulb holder together with the wiring harness will be replaced with a correct bulb holder and harness.
