What's wrong, in plain English
Some Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles have a label showing how much weight the vehicle can carry. On these vehicles the label may not be permanent and can fade until it can no longer be read. Because of that, the vehicles do not meet a federal safety standard covering tire and rim selection. Gulf States Toyota is mailing owners a replacement label along with instructions for putting it on.
What you should do
2. Watch for the replacement label and instructions arriving by mail; contact Gulf States Toyota customer service at 1-800-444-1074 (recall number 22R1) if you do not receive them.
3. The replacement label is free of charge.
