What's wrong, in plain English

Gulf States Toyota is recalling certain 2019 Toyota vehicles because of a problem with the load capacity label. The printing on the label, which shows how much weight the vehicle can carry, may become impossible to read. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rule covering tire selection and rims. Dealers will give owners a corrected load carrying capacity label to replace the one that cannot be read.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included. 2. Contact a dealer for a corrected label; Gulf States Toyota customer service is 1-800-444-1074. 3. The replacement label is free.
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 19V244000.
