2016-2019 Model Year Double Cab Tacoma Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp – Water Leak

Condition:
The Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp on the involved vehicles has a seal between the lamp and the vehicle body which can deteriorate over time. If the seal deteriorates sufficiently, water from outside the vehicle could leak into the vehicle cabin through the seal.

Remedy:
Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect the vehicles headliner to determine if a water leak resulting from this condition has occurred. If no such water leak is identified, the dealer will install the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp Repair Kit FREE OF CHARGE. If the aforementioned water leak is identified, the dealer will (1) either install the Center High Mounted Stop Lamp Repair Kit or a new Center High Mount Stop Lamp Assembly, as appropriate; and (2) clean and/or replace interior components damaged by the aforementioned water leak, as appropriate, FREE OF CHARGE.

This Limited Service Campaign will be available until April 30, 2025, and is only available at an authorized Toyota dealer

Covered Vehicle:

**Note: Parts needed will be dependent on inspection results. If a vehicle requires a new Center High-Mounted Stop Lamp Assembly, the vehicle does NOT require the repair kit nor the hardware kit. Refer to the technical instructions for more detail. Any work needed to replace interior components damaged by the water leak resulting from this condition will require prior approval by FTS through website submission requiring photos.

What happens if the campaign was performed when not leaking and, almost 3 years later, it is now pouring water and has caused a bad case of mold? The bulletin runs thru April 2025. Would this mean it needs to be repaired again to satisfy the campaign?I have been told by Toyota that nothing will be done.
