## TMCA preparations underway:

* Revised labels for the vehicle's "B" Pillar and inserts for the Owner's Manual are currently being prepared which are expected to be available in late June.
* Toyota will provide a process for the Dealer network to enable revised labels to be fitted to vehicles in line with the above production period.
* All new vehicles will be processed with revised labeling once they become available - current target will be July 2012.
* TMCA will post an update on www.toyota.com.au The new labels are expected to be available late June at which point a breakpoint will be established and advised.

If an enquiry is received, dealers should request vehicle owners to review their configurations in line with this increased front axle capacity capability. Additionally TMCA reminds Dealers to continue to stress to all vehicle operators the    importance of confirming actual passenger and payload configurations.
