Official summary
Dealer Email: Toyota has received a number of reports regarding the halogen head lamps on certain 2010 ? 2011 model year Prius vehicles. In these reports, customers have indicated that their vehicle?s halogen low beam headlamp bulb lifetime is shorter than expected. Although the Halogen Low Beam Headlamp Bulbs are covered by Toyota?s New Vehicle Limited Warranty for 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first), we at Toyota care about the customers? ownership experience. Toyota is providing coverage related to the halogen head lamp bulbs due to these circumstances.

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.
