What's wrong, in plain English

Some 4Runners fitted with 20-inch Black Gunner Wheels were built with the wrong load carrying capacity modification labels. These labels tell the owner how much weight the vehicle can carry. Because the printed information is wrong, the vehicles do not meet the federal standard covering tire and rim selection. An owner going by the label could end up putting more weight in the vehicle than it is meant to carry. Replacement labels will be mailed to owners.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included. 2. Watch for the replacement labels in the mail, or contact your dealer or Southeast Toyota Distributors customer service at 954-429-2000. 3. The replacement labels are 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 22V480000.
