2022-2024 Toyota Second Smart Key Delivery Program Update

Understanding the Toyota Second Smart Key Program

Toyota has issued an update regarding its Second Key Delivery Program, which addresses certain 2022-2024 model year vehicles that were initially delivered with only one smart key. This program aims to provide owners with their second smart key in a phased rollout. The information, updated on September 17, 2024, outlines the eligibility criteria and the estimated timing for key availability, primarily due to supply chain constraints.

Program Phases and Vehicle Counts

The Toyota Smart Key program is structured into eight distinct phases, each with an estimated number of vehicles targeted for key delivery. Phases 1 through 7 currently show "Remedy Available," indicating that keys are ready for those vehicle groups. Phase 8 is estimated for an announcement in October 2024, with the number of vehicles still to be determined (TBD).

Here's a summary of the phases and approximate vehicle counts:

• Phase 1: ~52,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 2: ~150,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 3: ~60,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 4: ~105,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 5: ~142,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 6: ~113,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 7: ~99,000 vehicles, Remedy Available
• Phase 8: TBD vehicles, estimated October 2024 announcement

How to Determine Your Vehicle's Eligibility and Phase

Owners can determine if their 2022-2024 Toyota vehicle is part of the Toyota Smart Key program by following a specific process. First, confirm your vehicle's production date against the start and end production dates listed in the detailed table provided by Toyota. This table helps identify if your vehicle was originally produced with only one smart key.

If your vehicle was produced with one smart key, you then need to check the color of the box corresponding to your model and production month in the production year/month chart. This color-coding indicates which phase your vehicle belongs to. For example, a dark green box signifies Phase 1. The chart also features a prominent "KEYS AVAILABLE" overlay for many production periods, indicating readiness for key delivery.

Important Warnings for Owners

Toyota explicitly states that "VINs are NOT searchable in TIS for applicability." This means owners cannot simply look up their VIN to determine eligibility. Instead, they must rely on their vehicle's production date and the provided charts. Additionally, Toyota notes that "Certain Tundra vehicles in this range are not available yet and will be included in the next phase," so Tundra owners should pay close attention to updates for Phase 8.

Affected Models and Production Details

The program applies to a wide range of 2022-2024 Toyota models, including the Mirai, RAV4/RAV4 HV, Prius/Prius Prime, 4Runner, C-HR, bZ4X, Venza, Crown, Camry, Highlander/Highlander HV, Sienna HV, Tundra/Tundra HV, Sequoia HV, and Grand Highlander. These vehicles were produced across various locations, including Japan and North America (NA), with specific key types designated as "Type #2 (15CY)" or "Type #3/#4 (19CY)." The production start and end dates for vehicles delivered with one smart key vary significantly by model, generally spanning from October 2022 through June 2024.
