Gulf States Toyota, Inc.: 2023 Tundra Pickup Trucks Recalled for Incorrect Load Capacity Labels

Agency Publication Date: November 18, 2022

Summary

Gulf States Toyota, Inc. is recalling approximately 157 of its 2023 Tundra pickup trucks that were equipped with non-skid spray-on bed liners. These vehicles have load-carrying capacity labels that show a lower weight limit than the actual weight of the accessories installed on the truck. This error means the vehicles do not comply with federal safety standards for tire selection and rims, which could lead to owners unintentionally overloading their vehicles. Gulf States Toyota will mail free replacement labels to all affected owners to correct this information.

Risk

An incorrect weight capacity label can cause a driver to unintentionally overload the truck. Overloading a vehicle can strain the tires and suspension, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

Apply the free replacement label provided by the manufacturer to your vehicle as instructed in the mailing to ensure you have accurate load-carrying capacity information.
