Check here to see if this Recall applies to your Toyota vehicle
On May 6, 2022, Gulf States Toyota, Inc. (GST) filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NCIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Noncompliance Recall on certain 2022 Model Year Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Tacoma and 4Runner vehicles.
Condition:
The affected vehicles contain a required load carrying capacity modification label that may not be permanent and can become illegible as the text has the potential to transfer off the label. As a result, the vehicles do not meet a requirement of FMVSS No. 110. A vehicle that is loaded beyond its load carrying capacity may have an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy:
For all affected retailed vehicles, a new label will be provided to customers, FREE OF CHARGE. Customers may also visit an authorized Toyota dealer for assistance in replacing the label.
Covered Vehicles:
There are approximately 661 vehicles covered by this Noncompliance Recall
Owner Letter Mailing Date:
Gulf States Toyota will begin to notify owners about the remedy in late June 2022.
Salvage Title Vehicles:
Every attempt should be made to complete an open Safety/Noncompliance Recall when circumstances permit, unless noted otherwise in the Safety/Noncompliance Recall dealer letter. For complete details on this policy, refer to Toyota Warranty Policy 4.17, “What Is Not Covered by The Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty”.
