What this recall means for you
The text on the vehicle's load capacity label may become hard or impossible to read. Because the label shows how much weight the vehicle can safely carry, a driver who cannot read it may unknowingly overload the vehicle, which increases the risk of a crash. The vehicle also does not fully comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 110 on tire selection and rims.
The remedy is free. Gulf States Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will provide corrected load carrying capacity modification labels at no charge. The recall began May 24, 2019. You can contact Gulf States Toyota customer service at 1-800-444-1074 for more information. Check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls to see whether your vehicle is affected.
