For vehicles involved, Toyota dealers will replace both right and left rear door opener switches with improved ones, free of charge.
Until the remedy is available, to help prevent the door opening if a short circuit occurs, customers in the U.S and Canada will be asked to ensure that the feature that automatically locks the doors when shifting from Park is activated.
