    Hi. I made a custom grill for my ‘19 with the TSS system and want to know if I Need to waterproof the backside of the unit? I’ve seen write ups of people needing to take their truck in to the dealer to install some type of material to keep the water away from the unit. Should I build a shroud around the TSS unit?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    There's a recall. K08 iirc.

    Reinstall the OEM grill, get the recall done, swap back, test the TSS.

    Does anyone know what dates the recall is for? I got mine in May of 2019. hadn't gotten any mail for a recall.

    Also, anyone out there have there's done by the dealer, could you post a picture showing what the dealer did for us to see?

    Thanks,
    Rob

    If an error code is stored, they replace the TSS sensor with an updated part. Otherwise, they stick foam tape to the top and back of the sensor and check the sensor alignment.

    I believe all models, 2018+ w/ TSS are affected, but check your VIN on Toyota's web.

    If yours is on the list, have it done for the re-flash. If they put a cushion piece on the back of it do the same with the new grill. Keep water away from the front face of the radar unit.

    If your radar unit has 3 small vent holes on the back left area - you are good to go as far as the water problem goes.
