TSB: ON SOME VEHICLES, WHEN RAPGARD IS REMOVED, THE PAINT MAY HAVE A STAINED APPEARANCE. THESE STAINS APPEAR TO BE UNDER THE CLEAR COAT (REPAINTING THIS AREA IS NOT NECESSARY). THE STAIN PATTERNS ARE USUALLY UNDER WRINKLES IN THE RAPGARD. THESE WRINKLES SOMETIMES TRAP WATER AND CAUSE THE PAINT TO STAIN FROM THE TRAPPED MOISTURE, ESPECIALLY ON HORIZONTAL SURFACES, SUCH AS THE HOOD, ROOF, AND TRUNK. STAINS CAN BE REMOVED BY HEATING THE STAINED SURFACE TO REMOVE THE TRAPPED MOISTURE.

TI: Background-In the subject vehicles the front catalytic converter internal components may become deteriorated and begin to rattle. If continually operated in this condition, the deteriorated components could become dislodged and restrict the exhaust flow. If this occurs, the vehicle may illuminate a check engine light, and, depending on the level of exhaust restriction, the vehicle may experience a reduction in power. Toyota has developed a new exhaust pipe with catalytic converters to prevent this condition from occurring.

TSB: While a vehicle is in inventory, the battery is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and life. Batteries can become discharged due to an extended storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, or while demonstrating vehicle features and benefits in the sales process. Battery inspection and maintenance are required in order to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life. As described in this bulletin, operating the engine for 30 minutes after 60 days in storage and every 30 days thereafter will help to maintain battery State of Charge (SOC). This process supplements other movements of the vehicle as it is staged, and has specific restrictions on how maintenance is to be done. Also described in this bulletin are 2 other approved methods for maintaining battery State of Charge.

TSB: On some vehicles, when Rapgard is removed, the paint may have a stained appearance. These stains appear to be under the clear coat (repainting this area is not necessary). The stain patterns are usually under wrinkles in the Rapgard. These wrinkles sometimes trap water and cause the paint to stain from the trapped moisture, especially on horizontal surfaces, such as the hood, roof, and trunk. Stains can be removed by heating the stained surface to remove the trapped moisture.
