What's wrong

Consequence
Chains that are not welded sufficiently can break and allow the spare tire to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 14, 2023. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 23TB06/23TA06.
