Toyota Tundra Load Capacity Label Overstates Added Weight
low How serious is it? About this label
The only consequence Toyota describes is that the label is not within the margin the federal standard allows, so the vehicles do not comply with it. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English
These trucks were built with accessory all-weather floor mats. When Toyota printed the label that adjusts the vehicle's load carrying capacity to account for added equipment, the weight of those mats was counted twice. As a result, the label overstates the additional weight by ten pounds. Because the figure on the label is off by more than the amount allowed, these vehicles do not meet the federal standard covering tire selection and rims.

Official notice

- Summary
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra vehicles. The accessory all-weather floormats may have been counted twice when creating the load carrying capacity modification label, resulting in the capacity modification label incorrectly overstating the additional weight by 10 pounds. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
- Safety risk
- Since the incorrect label is not within 1% of the additional weight, the vehicles are not compliant with the FMVSS.
- Remedy
- All vehicle owners will be sent a corrected label. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's number for this recall is J0Z.
