What's wrong, in plain English

Toyota is recalling certain Tundra trucks with a spray-in bed liner because the load carrying capacity modification label may have been calculated incorrectly. If an owner follows that label, the truck could end up carrying more weight than it should. Because of this, the vehicles don't meet federal tire and rim selection requirements. Toyota has provided corrected labels to fix the problem.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your truck is affected.
2. Contact a Toyota dealer, or call Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371, for a corrected label.
3. The corrected label is provided free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V900000.
