Toyota Equipment Recalls Involving Incorrect or Fading Load Capacity Labels
Load capacity labels dominate the supplied Toyota equipment notices, with Tundra and 4Runner appearing repeatedly. Tundra examples include incorrect labels on 2019 trucks with spray-in bed liners and 2023 Tundra and Tundra Hybrid trucks with spray-on bed liners. The 2018-2019 Tundra notice instead describes accessory floormats counted twice, overstating added weight by 10 pounds. For 4Runner, notices cover incorrect GVWR labels on certain 2017-2019 vehicles with TRD wheels and incorrect load capacity labels on certain 2020-2022 vehicles with Black Gunner wheels. Other notices address illegible or fading labels. A separate 2018 Prius C recall concerns a missing passenger airbag and child seating label on vehicles sold in Puerto Rico.
Warning signs to watch for
- 2019 Toyota load capacity label recall, 19R1: label text may become illegible.
- 2022 Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma and Highlander weight label recall: labels may fade and become illegible.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the supplied Toyota equipment notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. That includes the Tundra bed liner label recalls, the 4Runner wheel package label recalls, and the notices concerning illegible or fading load capacity labels. The 2018 Prius C missing airbag warning label notice also does not tell owners to stop driving. Neither does the September 2026 load label notice. These notices provide no stop-driving instruction; that absence is not a determination that an affected vehicle is safe to drive.
What the free repair involves
For 26TA18 and 23TA11, dealers replace load capacity modification labels free of charge. SET23A provides a new label by mail, also free. The Prius C recall J0L mails removable labels free of charge. Other listed notices provide corrected or replacement labels; J0Z says owners receive corrected labels but does not explicitly state a charge.

Common questions
Why does my Tundra's bed liner matter to a label recall?

Which 4Runner wheel packages appear in these recalls?
SET18A concerns certain 2017-2019 4Runner vehicles with a TRD wheel package and potentially incorrect GVWR certification labels. SET22A concerns certain 2020-2022 4Runner vehicles with 20-inch Black Gunner Wheels and incorrect load capacity modification labels. Both notices provide replacement labels free of charge.
Does the Prius C equipment recall concern a load capacity label?
The 2018 Prius C notice concerns vehicles sold in Puerto Rico that may lack the front passenger airbag and recommended child seating positions label. Toyota's stated remedy is to mail removable labels to known owners free of charge.
