ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC):CONTROL MODULE:SOFTWARE
- The defect

The Skid Control ECU software may not turn on the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) system when the vehicle is restarted after the driver has disabled the VSC system. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."

- Driving with a deactivated stability control system increases the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will update the Skid Control ECU software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 27, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 22TA03. Lexus' number for this recall is 22LA01.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 458,110 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the electronic stability control (esc) 3 times before this, most recently in July 2019 as 19V544000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 7 of the 17 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 164 complaints with NHTSA, 26 of them before this campaign was filed. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2020, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 12 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V128000 (seats), 25V877000 (equipment adaptive/mobility), 23V865000 (air bags), 23V720000 (structure).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on April 13, 2022 as campaign 22V239000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
