Any vehicle that has ever been branded as 
salvage, total loss, true mileage unknown or 
similar title under any state’s law or has ever 
been declared a “total loss” or equivalent by 
a  nancial institution or insurer, such as by 
payment for a claim in lieu of repairs because

of the vehicle. This exclusion does not apply 
to the emission control warranties, including 
Emission Control Warranty Enhancements or 
any open Safety Recalls/SSCs/LSCs.

Disclaimer of Extra   
Expenses and Damages
The performance of necessary repairs 
and adjustments is the exclusive remedy 
under this warranty or any implied 
warranty. Toyota does not authorize 
any person to create for it any other 
obligation or liability in connection with 
this vehicle. Toyota shall not be liable 
for incidental or consequential damages 
resulting from breach of this written 
warranty or any implied warranty. Any 
implied warranty of merchantability or 
 tness for a particular purpose is limited
