December 6, 2006 - Torrance, CA - Toyota Motor Sales (TMS), U.S.A., Inc., will

launch a voluntary Special Service Campaign involving approximately 60,700 four-

cylinder Highlander sport utility vehicles from the 2001 through 2003 model year

and 159,100 RAV4 sport utility vehicles from the 2001 and 2002 model year. The

Malfunction Indicator Light, also known as the "check engine" light, on certain

RAV4 and Highlander may inadvertently illuminate due to an issue with the program

logic in the Engine Control Module (ECM). This light does not affect the operation

of the vehicle. The affected RAV4 and Highlander were produced from July 24, 2000

to August 22, 2003.
There have been 80 cases of this condition reported in the Highlander and RAV4.

Toyota will mail to owners of the involved vehicles a Service Campaign

notification via first class mail in mid-December.
Owners are requested to contact their local Toyota dealer for reprogramming of the

ECM with improved logic. Reprogramming will be done at no charge to the owners of

the vehicle and will take approximately 30 minutes, depending on the dealer's work

schedule. No parts replacement is necessary to complete the campaign.
Customers with questions or concerns should contact the Toyota Customer Experience

Center at 1-800-331-4331.
