Toyota Camry

Reported Feb 20, 1996756 vehicles affectedTOYOTA MOTOR CO., LTD.Built Jan 1, 1996 – Jan 1, 1996

The defect

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.

The risk

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

The 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.
