Safety Recall Campaign – Stop Lamp Switch - 4526K
Lexus RX330 (MCU38)
Published: 24 May 2021 – Operation Code: 4526K
BACKGROUND
Investigations by Toyota Motor Corporation have determined that a requirement exists for the initiation of a safety recall
campaign to be conducted in accordance with the FCAI Code of Practice for safety related recalls, affecting a range of
Lexus RX330 vehicles.
DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEM
In the subject vehicles, a build–up of silica within the stop lamp switch from airborne silicone within the vehicle cabin results
in poor electrical conductivity across the switch contact points. In the instance where this occurs, there is a possibility that
the stop lamps may not illuminate and in some instances the ABS / TRC warning light may come on. Additionally, the shift
lock may not disengage and allow the shift lever to move from the “P” (Park) position.
When this failure occurs, the manual override on the shift lock is required to remove the transmission shift lever from the “P”
(Park) position.
Some owners may not have experienced these conditions however it is mandatory that all vehicles are actioned per this
Safety Related Recall Campaign.
