EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Gulf States Toyota, Inc. (GST) is recalling certain 2022 4Runner, Tacoma, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. The load carrying capacity modification labels may not be permanent and can fade, becoming illegible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- What it can cause
- An illegible label may allow the vehicle to be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- GST will notify owners by mail, including a replacement load carrying capacity modification label for their vehicle and detailed replacement instructions, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2022. Owners may contact GST customer service at 1-800-444-1074. GST's number for this recall is 22R1.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 661 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 54% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 28 times before this, most recently in June 2019 as 19V503000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 336 complaints with NHTSA, 11 of them before this campaign was filed. 2 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V128000 (seats), 24V452000 (tires), 24V419000 (tires), 24V152000 (power train).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Gulf States Toyota, Inc. with NHTSA on May 6, 2022 as campaign 22V310000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
