What's wrong, in plain English

Some Toyota Tundra trucks with a spray-on bed liner have a label that lists the vehicle's weight-carrying capacity incorrectly. The label may show a lower weight than the truck can actually carry once the bed liner and other accessories are added. Because the label understates how much weight has already been added, an owner relying on it could end up putting more weight in the truck than the label suggests is safe.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact your Toyota dealer, or call Gulf States Toyota customer service at 1-800-444-1074.
3. A replacement label will be mailed to you free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
