Defect

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain 2020-2022 4Runner vehicles equipped with 20-inch Black Gunner Wheels. The load carrying capacity modification labels are incorrect. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

Risk / consequence

An incorrect label may lead to unintentionally overloading the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

SET will mail replacement labels to owners, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed September 4, 2022. Owners may contact SET's customer service at 954-429-2000. SET's number for this recall is SET22A.

Chronology of events

1. June 2022

   During a routine process validation audit in June 2022, SET discovered that the 20-inch Black Gunner accessory wheels had not been properly weighed. SET investigated and determined that the wheel must have been weighed with the shipping materials/packaging causing the actual wheel weight to be over reported in the system. SET’s investigation found that the effect of the actual wheel weight being over reported was to decrease the load carrying capacity stated on the modified load carrying capacity label when in fact there is additional load carrying capacity available on the vehicle. SET’s investigation also found that for the affected vehicles, after the correct weight of the accessory wheels was input, the modified load carrying capacity did not reflect the total weight added between certification and first retail sale within 1% of the actual added weight. On June 29, 2022, SET decided to conduct a recall to address this issue on vehicles in the field.
