Official summary
Some 2012 ? 2013 model year Camry and Camry HV vehicles may exhibit a condition where the passenger-side headlight and rear defogger operate continuously. This condition may be caused by a poor ground for the Engine Room Junction Block Assembly on the left fender side panel bracket after a collision repair. This may occur during body shop repairs or other repairs where the left side fender bracket grounds were left loose, not properly attached using correct bolts, or improperly painted, and the vehicle?s battery was connected.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
