The risk

The interference with the headlamp housing caused byother than koito brand lamp bulbs does not comply with fmvss 108, "lamps,reflective devices, and associated equipment."

The fix

Toyota dealers will provide a new koito brand bulb with no charge if a non-koito brand bulb is now installed, or should a headlamp bulb burn out in the future. "caution labels" will also be placed on each headlamp housing.
