Toyota Smart Key Delivery Update
Toyota has issued a manufacturer communication regarding the delivery of new vehicles with a reduced number of Smart Keys. This situation affects various 2022-2024 Toyota models, including the 2023 TOYOTA Camry, and has been ongoing since October 2022.
The reason for this change in delivery is a global semiconductor shortage. This shortage has impacted the availability of specific microchips required for the production of Smart Keys. As a result, affected vehicles were delivered to customers with only one Smart Key and one traditional mechanical key.
What Owners Should Know
If you purchased a new 2022-2024 Toyota model since October 2022, it is possible your vehicle was delivered with only one Smart Key. This is not a defect with your vehicle's electrical system but a direct consequence of the global supply chain challenges.
