INTRODUCTION
A
t Toyota, our top priority is always
our customers. We know your Toyota
is an important part of your life and
something you depend on every day. That’s
why we’re dedicated to building products of
the highest quality and reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is
evidence that we stand behind the quality
of our vehicles. We’re confident — as you
should be — that your Toyota will provide
you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to
our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally
we may establish a special policy
adjustment to pay for specific repairs that
are no longer covered by warranty. When
we establish such a policy adjustment, we
mail details to all applicable owners we
have on record. That’s why it’s important
to send in the card at the back of this
booklet if you change your address or if
you’ve purchased this vehicle from a
previous owner.
To provide you with added protection
against unexpected service costs, we offer
Toyota Financial Services vehicle service
agreements and Toyota Auto Care and
Toyota Care Plus pre-paid maintenance
programs. Each offers plans to meet a
wide variety of needs. Your dealership can
help you select the plan that’s best for you.Our goal is for every Toyota customer to
enjoy outstanding quality, dependability
and peace of mind throughout their
ownership experience. We want you to be
a satisfied member of the Toyota family
for many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of
Toyota warranty coverage as well as
general owner responsibilities. The
scheduled maintenance section
describes your vehicle’s maintenance
requirements. Be sure to review this
information carefully, since proper
maintenance is required to ensure that
warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest
available at the time of publication and is
subject to change without notice.
SATISFACTION DOWN THE ROAD

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
INTRODUCTION
B
oth Toyota and your Toyota dealer
are dedicated to serving your
automotive needs. Your complete
satisfaction is our first priority. Should
you have a problem or concern — either
during or after the warranty period —
please take the following steps to ensure
the quickest possible response:
Step 1
Discuss the situation with a dealership
manager, such as the service manager
or customer relations manager. In most
cases, a satisfactory solution can be
reached at this step.
Step 2
If the dealership does not address your
concern to your satisfaction, call the
Toyota Customer Experience Center
at (800) 331-4331.
Please have the following information
ready when you call:
• Your Toyota’s vehicle identification number
(located on the driver’s side corner of the
dashboard, under the windshield)
• Current mileage on your vehicle
• Name of your Toyota dealership
A Toyota customer relations representative
will assist you in working with the dealership
to find a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If your concern has still not been resolved
to your satisfaction, Toyota offers
additional assistance through the Dispute
Settlement Program, a dispute resolution
program administered by the National
Center for Dispute Settlement. The
purpose of the Dispute Settlement
Program is to resolve disputes through
arbitration — a process by which two
parties authorize an independent third
party to hear and resolve a dispute. The
program is informal and free of charge.
To request that your case be reviewed
through the program, complete the
customer claim form in the
Owner’s
Warranty Rights Notification
booklet
(found in your glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
P.O. Box 688
Mt. Clemens, MI 48046
To initiate arbitration, you must complete
a NCDS customer claim form and mail it
to NCDS. To request a form, call NCDS
at (800) 777-8119 or obtain a copy at
www.ncdsusa.org. When you call,
please have your vehicle identification
number, the current mileage on your
Toyota and the names of your selling and
servicing dealerships.

INTRODUCTION
W
e realize that your confidence
in the quality and reliability
of our products was a key
factor in your decision to buy a Toyota.
We also know how disruptive the loss
of transportation can be to your daily
routine. That’s why we’re pleased
to offer you the benefits of our
Transportation Assistance Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible
for transportation assistance if your
Toyota must be kept overnight for
warranty-covered repairs. The policy
applies when your vehicle must be kept
overnight for any of the following reasons:
• The warranty repairs will take longer
than one day to complete.
• The warrantable condition requires
extensive diagnosis.
• The parts needed for the warranty
repairs are not readily available and
your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe
to drive.The policy does not apply when warranty
repairs can be completed in one day but
the vehicle must be kept overnight due to
dealer or owner scheduling conflicts.
The Transportation Assistance Policy
applies for the duration of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all
2019 model-year Toyotas sold and
serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships
in the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your
Toyota dealer.

10Your Warranties in Detail
GENERAL WARRANTY PROVISIONS
WARR ANT Y
Important: You must use the Dispute
Settlement Program (or, in California,
the CDSP) before seeking remedies
through a court action pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the
“Act”). However, if you choose to
pursue rights and remedies not created
by the Act, you are not required to use
the Dispute Settlement Program
(CDSP). You may also be required to
use the Dispute Settlement Program or
CDSP before seeking remedies under
the “Lemon Laws” of your state. Please
check this booklet and the appropriate
page of the Owner’s Warranty Rights
Notification booklet for additional
information and the requirements
applicable to your state.
Who Is the Warrantor
The warrantor for these limited warranties
is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
(“Toyota”), a California corporation, P.O.
Box 259001, Plano, Texas 75025-9001.
Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2019 model
year Tacoma vehicles distributed by Toyota
that are originally sold by an authorized
dealer in the United States and normally
operated or touring in the United States,
U.S. territories or Canada. Warranty
coverage is automatically transferred at
no cost to subsequent vehicle owners.
Multiple Warranty Conditions
This booklet contains warranty terms
and conditions that may vary depending
on the part covered. A warranty for specific
parts or systems, such as the Powertrain
Warranty or Emission Performance Warranty,
is governed by the coverage set forth in
that warranty as well as the General
Warranty Provisions.
When Warranty Begins
The warranty period begins on the vehicle’s
in-service date, which is the first date the
vehicle is either delivered to an ultimate
purchaser, leased, or used as a company
car or demonstrator.
Repairs Made at No Charge
Repairs and adjustments covered by these
warranties are made at no charge for parts
and labor.
Parts Replacement
Any needed parts replacement will be
made using new or remanufactured parts.
The decision whether a part should be
repaired or replaced will be made by the
servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota.
Parts scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until their first
replacement only.

create for it any other obligation or liability
in connection with this vehicle.
