2016-2017 Toyota Tacoma Blower Motor Noise

Subject: Special Service Campaign J0N – Remedy Notice
2016 – 2017 Model Year Tacoma HVAC Blower Motor

Condition:
There is a possibility that the blower motor fan hub in the involved vehicles was produced with improper dimensions. A blower motor fan hub with improper dimensions may develop a crack over time. If a vehicle is continuously operated with this condition, the damage may worsen, leading to an abnormal noise and eventually an inoperable blower motor fan.

Remedy:
Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail starting in early September 2018, advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the blower motor and fan assembly replaced at NO CHARGE.

Covered Vehicles:
There are approximately 185,300 vehicles covered by this Special Service Campaign. Approximately 4,700 vehicles involved in this Special Service Campaign were distributed to Puerto Rico.

Owner Letter Mailing Date:
Toyota will begin to notify owners in early September 2018.
