Gulf States Toyota, Inc.: Highlander Vehicles Recalled for Insufficient Tire Load Ratings

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Gulf States Toyota, Inc. is recalling approximately 4,869 Highlander L and Highlander LE vehicles from the 2022-2024 model years. These specific vehicles were equipped with the Blackout Package, which includes 20-inch black alloy wheels and tires that do not meet federal safety standards for load capacity. Because the tires are not rated to handle the vehicle's weight and potential cargo load, Gulf States Toyota will inspect the tires, replace them if necessary, and provide updated tire information labels free of charge.

Risk

The installed tires have an insufficient load rating, meaning they can become overloaded during normal use. This can lead to sudden tire failure or a blowout, which significantly increases the risk of a crash.

What You Should Do

  1. Check your vehicle registration or purchase documents to see if your 2022-2024 Highlander L or Highlander LE is equipped with the 'Blackout Package' featuring 20-inch black alloy wheels.
  2. Contact Gulf States Toyota (GST) customer service at 1-800-444-1074 to confirm if your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is included in recall 24R1.
  3. Schedule an appointment with an authorized dealer to have your tires inspected and, if necessary, replaced with tires that have the correct load rating at no cost to you.
  4. Ensure the dealer installs a new tire information label that reflects the correct specifications for your vehicle's equipment.
  5. For further information or to check your VIN online, visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls or call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
