Toyota Tundra Recall 15V315: Wrong tire pressure on label can cause underinflation and crash risk

NHTSA campaign 15V315, reported May 27, 2015, 144 vehicles potentially affected.

What this recall means for you

Some 2015 Toyota Tundra trucks built between March 11 and April 11, 2015, with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 275/60R20 tires have a tire placard that lists an incorrect recommended cold tire inflation pressure. If you inflate the tires to the pressure shown on that placard, they may end up underinflated.

Underinflated tires raise the risk of tire failure, which could lead to a crash. Check the tire placard on your vehicle and compare it against the correct specifications from your owner's manual or a dealer before adjusting tire pressure.

The remedy is free. Dealers will install a new tire placard with the correct cold tire inflation pressure. Owners will be notified, and you can contact Southeast Toyota Distributors customer service at 1-866-405-4226 (recall number SET15C). You can also check your VIN for any open recalls.
