2022-2024 Toyota Second Smart Key Delivery Program Update

Toyota has initiated a Second Key Delivery Program to provide owners of certain 2022-2024 models with their second smart key. This program addresses vehicles that were initially delivered with only one smart key due to supply chain constraints. The manufacturer communication, updated on May 31, 2024, details the phases of key availability and vehicle eligibility for the Toyota second smart key.

Second Key Delivery Program Phases and Timing

The Second Key Delivery Program is structured into multiple phases, each with an estimated announcement timing and the number of vehicles affected. As of the latest update, remedies are available for the first five phases, impacting a significant number of vehicles.

Note that the timing for Phases 6, 7, and 8 is subject to change, and the number of vehicles for these later phases is yet to be determined (TBD).

Vehicle Eligibility and Production Details

Dealers can identify specific models produced with a single smart key and determine which phase a vehicle belongs to using the detailed chart below. This table lists models, their production location, key type (Type #2 (15CY) or Type #3/#4 (19CY)), production start and end dates for vehicles with one smart key, and the approximate volume of affected vehicles.

How to Determine Your Vehicle's Eligibility

To check if your vehicle is part of the Second Key Delivery Program, first confirm its production date. This can be done by cross-referencing your vehicle's model and production month with the detailed eligibility table. The document provides an example: a 4Runner produced in December 2022 would fall under Phase 1, indicating that the remedy for the Toyota second smart key is already available.

Dealers use a color-coded chart (not explicitly shown in the text but described in the example) to match production month and model to a specific phase. Vehicles with "KEYS AVAILABLE" are ready for their second smart key. It's important to note that some Grand Highlander VINs are not yet loaded into the system and will be added later, and some VINs may not be searchable in TIS for applicability.

Important Considerations for Owners

Owners should be aware of specific limitations regarding vehicle eligibility checks. Toyota states that "VINS are NOT searchable in TIS for applicability" for some vehicles, meaning direct VIN lookup might not immediately confirm eligibility. Additionally, "Some Grand Highlander VINs are not loaded yet and will be added to the" system, so owners of these models should check back later or consult their dealer for the most current information.
