Toyota is recalling approximately 1,398 of its 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The steel chain that secures the spare tire to the underside of the vehicle may have an insufficient weld that can break, potentially causing the spare tire to fall off the vehicle while driving. Owners will be able to have their spare tire carrier assembly replaced by a dealer at no cost.
An improperly welded chain can snap, causing the heavy spare tire to detach from the vehicle. This creates a road hazard for other drivers and significantly increases the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly free of charge.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
