Incorrect Side Marker Lights/FMVSS 108
Description
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain rear combination light assemblies, with part numbers 81561-42290 and 81551-42290, sold as replacement parts for Toyota bZ4X vehicles. The rear combination light assemblies may be equipped with a side marker reflector instead of a side marker light.

Injuries / Consequence
Without the correct lights, it may be difficult for other road users to see the vehicle from the rear or side, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the rear combination light assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed March 10, 2026. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TK01 and 26TH01.
