Toyota Tire Recalls Involving Air Loss and Load Ratings
Insufficient tire load ratings repeat in the Highlander notices, covering certain 2022-2024 L and LE vehicles with the Gulf States Toyota Blackout Package and certain 2021-2024 vehicles with Southeast Toyota Distributors' 20-inch accessory tires. Highlander appears in two notices and spans the most model years here. Other problems differ: certain 2023 RAV4 vehicles with 17-inch black alloy accessory wheels have potentially damaged or improperly installed valve stems and incorrect capacity labels. Certain 2024 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles have possible passenger-side tire damage. A separate notice concerns spare tire carrier chains on certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles.
Warning signs to watch for
- 2023 RAV4 Tire Valve Stems May Leak Air: air leakage and underinflated tires are described.
- 2024 Tundra and Sequoia Tires May Lose Air: sudden tire pressure loss and loss of vehicle control are described.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of the supplied Toyota tire notices tells owners to stop driving or park outside. That includes the July 2023 Tundra and Sequoia spare tire recall, July 2023 RAV4 valve stem recall, June 2024 Highlander Blackout Package tire recall, June 2024 Highlander accessory tire recall, and October 2024 Tundra and Sequoia tire pressure loss recall. For each of these named recalls, the supplied notice does not direct owners to stop driving their vehicle.
What the free repair involves
Free remedies vary by notice: replace the 2023 spare tire carrier assembly; inspect and, if necessary, replace RAV4 valve stems and replace capacity labels; inspect and replace Highlander tires and labels or placards as necessary under the respective notices; and inspect and replace affected 2024 Tundra and Sequoia tires as necessary.

Common questions
Which Highlander tire packages are named in these recalls?
Gulf States Toyota names certain 2022-2024 Highlander L and LE vehicles with the Blackout Package's 20-inch wheels and tires. Southeast Toyota Distributors separately names certain 2021-2024 Highlanders with 20-inch accessory tires. Both notices identify insufficient tire load ratings.
Is the Tundra spare tire recall about tire pressure?
The July 2023 notice concerns insufficiently welded spare tire securing chains on certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. Chains may break and release the spare tire. Dealers replace the spare tire carrier assembly, free of charge.
Which tires are identified in the 2024 Tundra and Sequoia recall?
The October 2024 notice identifies possible inner sidewall damage on the passenger-side front and rear tires of certain 2024 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. That damage can cause sudden pressure loss. Dealers inspect and replace tires as necessary, free of charge.
