What's wrong, in plain English
Southeast Toyota Distributors says some Highlander vehicles came with 20-inch accessory tires that aren't rated to carry as much weight as these vehicles need. Because the tires' weight rating is too low for the vehicle, they could end up carrying more weight than they were built to handle. This means the vehicles don't meet a federal safety standard for tire selection.
