EXHIBIT A: Telephone Script

Litigation has been commenced against Toyota, in which plaintiffs allege that Toyota and Lexus vehicles may be subject to unintended acceleration. I am contacting you on

behalf of [plaintiffs/Toyota].

[For customers contacted as a result of PI found in Toyota’s records:] Before we speak further, I am required to advise you that, as part of this litigation, Toyota has been required to provide plaintiffs’ counsel with records kept by Toyota that concern information or complaints you provided to Toyota when you contacted Toyota’s customer call center about your vehicle or when you brought your vehicle to an authorized Toyota or Lexus dealership for service. Before providing these records to plaintiffs’ counsel, Toyota removed identifying information to the extent permitted by the Court. However, Toyota was required to provide these records to plaintiffs’ counsel without removing certain identifying information about you, including your name, address,

telephone number, and vehicle identification number.

I am also required to advise you that you do not have any obligation to speak with me

and you have a right to end this conversation at any time.

Additionally, if you would like to ensure that you do not receive any further unsolicited contact related to this litigation, or if you would like to report harassing or abusive phone calls, a toll-free line has been set that will allow you to opt out of receiving unsolicited calls concerning this litigation. That number is: 1-800-xxx-

XXXX.

Are you willing to speak with me concerning your Toyota/Lexus vehicle?
