For all subject vehicles, the hub bolts will be replaced with newly designed hub bolts with washers and the wheels will be replaced with improved ones. The remedy will be provided by any authorized Toyota dealer FREE OF CHARGE. In addition to the remedy, a new owner’s manual will be provided with user instructions for the new hub bolts.
Dealer Procedures for DO NOT DRIVE
Toyota requires your assistance to support customers who were requested to not drive their vehicle during the interim period of this Safety Recall.
For affected vehicles already in your possession, please obtain the necessary authorization from the owner and perform the remedy as outlined in the technical instructions.
If an owner contacts you about the remedy for a vehicle which is not already at your dealership, please remind them to NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE until the remedy is performed. Please assist them in arranging vehicle pick up from their location to your dealership so you can perform the remedy. Please use the attached FAQ for talking points with vehicle owners and refer to the Vehicle Pickup and Loaner Reimbursement Procedures section below for further details.
If you have provided a loaner vehicle to an owner who decided to keep their vehicle at their home, please contact them and arrange for vehicle pick up from their location to your dealership so you can perform the remedy.
As a reminder, the bZ4X should be transported using a wheel-lift type truck or flat-bed truck. Refer to the bZ4X Owner’s Manual (beginning on page 507) for more details on towing this vehicle. When arranging pick up, please instruct the towing company to apply the recommended torque from the repair manual to each hub bolt before securing the vehicle with wheel straps.
While the vehicle is at your dealership, do not drive the vehicle on public roads and minimize vehicle movement until the remedy is performed. If the vehicle must be moved, torque the hub bolts to the recommended specification in the repair manual before and after moving the vehicle.

Description of Problem:
The subject vehicles are equipped with wheels attached to the vehicle with hub bolts. After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on a wheel can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle. The cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Chronology of Principal Events:
Mid-May 2022 – Late June 2022
Toyota received a field technical report from the Taiwan market indicating separation of the
front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota recovered the wheels and hub bolts from this vehicle
for investigation.
Toyota then received two field technical reports from the U.S. market. One of the reports indicated loose hub bolts of the front left wheel and the other indicated a separation of the front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota
reviewed the production process at the vehicle assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities on the hub bolt tightening history of these three vehicles. Toyota
also reviewed the assembly process of the wheel and hub bolts at the assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities. In addition, although damage was observed on the wheel recovered from the vehicle in the Taiwan market, the damage was believed to be a result of the wheel separating from the vehicle and the cause of the loosening of the hub bolts was not able to be identified. Toyota
continued to investigate and conducted a driving test using mass production wheels and hub bolts that were tightened to specification. The testing showed that the hub bolts loosened under certain severe driving patterns.
June 20, 2022
While the cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation, the current information indicates that all of the hub bolts on a wheel on the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle after low-mileage use. Thus, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign and will instruct the owners of the subject vehicles not to drive their vehicles. Toyota
will continue to investigate the issue and develop a remedy.
As of June 18, 2022, based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’s best engineering judgment is that there are two Toyota
Field Technical Reports (received between June 3, 2022 and June 8, 2022) and zero warranty claims that have been received from U.S. sources that relate or may relate to this condition and which were considered in the decision to submit this report.
Description of Corrective Repair Action:
All known owners of the subject Toyota bZ4X vehicles will be notified by first class mail and instructed not to drive their vehicles. Owners will also be informed that Toyota
’s investigation is ongoing and that they will be contacted when further information is available.
Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers.
Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies for Toyota bZ4X vehicles
As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota
’s Warranty.

TOYOTA Toyota Motor North America, Inc. Vehicle Safety & Compliance Liaison Office Mail Stop: W4-2D 6565 Headquarters Drive Plano, TX 75024 October 6, 2022 AMENDMENT TO DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT (22V-444) This amends Toyota’s Part 573 Report of June 23, 2022 concerning the hub bolt issue on certain Toyota and Subaru vehicles. The sections listed below either contain information that was unavailable at the time of Toyota’s initial Part 573 Report or has been amended and should be replaced with the information listed below. In Section 1, the following information should be added: 1. Vehicle Manufacturer Name: Manufacturer of Hub bolt: MEIDOH CO., Ltd. 4-5 Sengen-cho Toyota-shi Aichi 471-0037 Phone: +81-565-31-0330 Country of Origin: Japan Manufacturers of Wheels: Zhejiang Wanfeng Auto Wheel Co., Ltd.

Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect: 100%. However, whether the issue in each case will lead to the wheel detachment depends on many variables described in Section 5 below. In Section 5, the following should replace the information provided in the June 23, 2022 Part 573 Report: 5. Description of Problem: The subject vehicles are equipped with wheels attached to the vehicle with certain hub bolts. A higher-than-expected coefficient of friction of the bolt surface may result in lower-than-expected clamping force from the fastening of these bolts during assembly. Under certain driving conditions that can expose the bolts to higher operating temperatures, the coefficient of friction of the bolt can change, causing additional torque relaxation. If these conditions occur, the overall wheel slip resistance torque can become lower than the torque that can be produced under certain driving and braking conditions in the subject vehicles. This can result in all of the hub bolts on a wheel to loosen to the point where they can detach. In addition, the subject vehicles were equipped with wheels that contained excessive roughness on a contact surface and bolt holes that were misaligned. These conditions can lead to further reduction of the overall wheel slip resistance torque. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. In Section 7, the following should replace information provided in the June 23, 2022 Part 573 Report: 7. Description of Corrective Repair Action: All known owners of the subject Toyota bZ4X vehicles will be notified. The dealer will replace the hub bolts with newly designed hub bolts with a washer. In addition, the dealer will replace the wheels with improved ones. The remedy will be provided at no cost to the customer. Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers. Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies for Toyota bZ4X vehicles As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty.

TOYOTA Toyota Motor North America, Inc. Vehicle Safety & Compliance Liaison Office Mail Stop: W4-2D 6565 Headquarters Drive Plano, TX 75024 June 23, 2022 DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT 1. Vehicle Manufacturer Name: Toyota Motor Corporation [“TMC”] 1, Toyota-cho, Toyota-city, Aichi-pref., 471-8571, Japan Affiliated U.S. Sales Company: Toyota Motor North America, Inc. [“TMNA”] 6565 Headquarters Drive, Plano, TX 75024 Subaru of America, Inc. [“SOA”] One Subaru Drive, Camden, NJ 08103 Supplier Information: To be provided. Country of Origin: To be provided. 2. Identification of Involved Vehicles and Affected Components: Based on production records, we have determined the involved vehicle population as in the table below. Make/Car Line Model Year Manufacturer Production Period Toyota/bZ4X 2023 TMC March 30, 2022 through April 21, 2022 Subaru/SOLTERRA March 30, 2022 through June 3, 2022 Applicability Part Number Part Name Component Description To be provided Note: (1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S. 3. Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved: bZ4X : 258 Solterra : 403 Total : 661 4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect: Toyota is unable to estimate the percentage of the involved vehicles to contain the defect. As described in Section 5, the cause of this issue is still under investigation. However, as the NHTSA manufacturer portal requires an integer value be entered, Toyota has entered the value “1” in response to this question in the portal. For the purpose of this report, “1” means “unknown”. 5. Description of Problem: The subject vehicles are equipped with wheels attached to the vehicle with hub bolts. After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on a wheel can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle. The cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. 6. Chronology of Principal Events: Mid-May 2022 – Late June 2022 Toyota received a field technical report from the Taiwan market indicating separation of the front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota recovered the wheels and hub bolts from this vehicle for investigation. Toyota then received two field technical reports from the U.S. market. One of the reports indicated loose hub bolts of the front left wheel and the other indicated a separation of the front left wheel from the vehicle. Toyota reviewed the production process at the vehicle assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities on the hub bolt tightening history of these three vehicles. Toyota also reviewed the assembly process of the wheel and hub bolts at the assembly plant and did not identify any abnormalities. In addition, although damage was observed on the wheel recovered from the vehicle in the Taiwan market, the damage was believed to be a result of the wheel separating from the vehicle and the cause of the loosening of the hub bolts was not able to be identified. Toyota continued to investigate and conducted a driving test using mass production wheels and hub bolts that were tightened to specification. The testing showed that the hub bolts loosened under certain severe driving patterns. June 20, 2022 While the cause of the issue and the driving patterns under which this issue could occur are still under investigation, the current information indicates that all of the hub bolts on a wheel on the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle after low-mileage use. Thus, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall campaign and will instruct the owners of the subject vehicles not to drive their vehicles. Toyota will continue to investigate the issue and develop a remedy. As of June 18, 2022, based on a diligent review of records, Toyota’s best engineering judgment is that there are two Toyota Field Technical Reports (received between June 3, 2022 and June 8, 2022) and zero warranty claims that have been received from U.S. sources that relate or may relate to this condition and which were considered in the decision to submit this report. 7. Description of Corrective Repair Action: All known owners of the subject Toyota bZ4X vehicles will be notified by first class mail and instructed not to drive their vehicles. Owners will also be informed that Toyota’s investigation is ongoing and that they will be contacted when further information is available. Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers. Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies for Toyota bZ4X vehicles As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty (“Warranty”), all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty. 8. Recall Schedule: Toyota will notify bZ4X owners about this issue through a number of communication channels, including email, phone calls, and first-class mail. Toyota will begin notifying customers on June 23, 2022. The owner letter required by 49 CFR Part 577 will be sent by August 22, 2022. A copy of the draft owner letter will be submitted as soon as it is available. Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers. 9. Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule: Notifications to Toyota distributors/dealers will be sent by June 23, 2022. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued. Subaru has informed Toyota that no Solterra vehicles have been sold to dealers or retail purchasers. Notifications to Subaru distributors will be sent by June 23, 2022. Copies of communications will be submitted as they are issued. 10. Manufacturer’s Campaign Number: Toyota bZ4X : 22TB06[Interim] / 22TA06[Remedy] Subaru Solterra : WRD-22

On June 23rd, 2022 Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2023 model year bZ4X vehicles. Condition After low-mileage use, all of the hub bolts on a wheel on the subject vehicles can loosen to the point where the wheel can detach from the vehicle. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash. No one should drive these vehicles until the remedy is performed. Remedy Toyota is currently investigating the cause of this issue. No remedy is available at this time. Until the remedy is available, no one should drive these vehicles until the remedy is performed. Until the remedy is available, any authorized Toyota dealer will pick up a vehicle and provide a loaner vehicle FREE OF CHARGE to the owner. Dealer Procedures for DO NOT DRIVE Toyota requires your assistance to support customers during this time. If you have retailed a bZ4X and have the owner’s contact information, please contact them as soon as possible about this issue proactively. Please assist them in arranging vehicle pick up from their location to your dealership and provide them a loaner vehicle. Please use the attached FAQ for talking points with vehicle owners and refer to the Vehicle Pickup and Loaner Reimbursement Procedures section below for further details. As a reminder, the bZ4X should be transported using a wheel-lift type truck or flat-bed truck. Refer to the bZ4X Owner’s Manual (beginning on page 507) for more details on towing this vehicle. When arranging pick up, please instruct the towing company to apply the recommended torque from the repair manual to each hub bolt before securing the vehicle with wheel straps. While the vehicle is at your dealership, do not drive the vehicle on public roads and minimize vehicle movement. Please retain the vehicle as outlined in the applicable warranty guidelines and reference T-SB-0036-22 and T-SB-0044-22 for long term storage guidelines.

Owner Notification In addition to your dealer outreach, Toyota will notify customers about this issue through a number of communication channels, including email, phone calls, first-class mail and through Toyota’s mobile app. The notifications will begin on June 23, 2022. Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle. Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS. Dealer Inventory Procedures New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory There is approximately 1 vehicle in new dealer inventory as of June 23, 2022. Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied. Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy. NOTE: • New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should not be made until a vehicle is remedied. • None of the bZ4X vehicles involved in this Safety Recall should be used for test drives or other demonstrations. • Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

A higher-than-expected coefficient of friction of the bolt surface may result in lower-than-expected clamping force from the fastening of these bolts during assembly. Under certain driving conditions that can expose the bolts to higher operating temperatures, the coefficient of friction of the bolt can change, causing additional torque relaxation. If these conditions occur, the overall wheel slip resistance torque can become lower than the torque that can be produced under certain driving and braking conditions in the subject vehicles. This can result in all of the hub bolts on a wheel to loosen to the point where they can detach. In addition, the subject vehicles were equipped with wheels that contained excessive roughness on a contact surface and bolt holes that were misaligned. These conditions can lead to further reduction of the overall wheel slip resistance torque. If a wheel detaches from the vehicle while driving, it could result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
