Issue:
On certain vehicles, a short circuit could occur in the main display of the combination meter. This could cause the vehicle speed and fuel level to disappear from the main display while driving.
Safety Risk:
A vehicle that does not display the fuel level could have an increased risk of running out of fuel. If vehicle speed is not displayed, it could result in the vehicle being driven at higher speed than intended. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Corrective Actions:
Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the combination meter circuit board. It will be replaced if necessary.
