Affected Vehicles:

2017 – 2019 Toyota Camry, Corolla, Rav4, Sienna, and Yaris iA fleet vehicles that have factory installed floor mats, processed by Southeast Toyota.

 

Condition:

Pursuant to FMVSS 110 S10, a load carrying capacity modification label must be added to a vehicle if weight exceeding the lesser of 1.5 percent of GVWR or 45.4 kg (100 pounds) is added to a vehicle between final vehicle certification and the first retail sale of the vehicle, and the corrected values must be accurate to within 1 percent of the actual added weight.  With regard to the vehicles that are subject to this recall, SET added net accessory weight and provided the requisite load carrying capacity modification label, but SET has determined that certain labels were not accurate to within 1 percent of the actual added weight.

 

Remedy:

SET will notify the customers by mail of the noncompliance and will provide them with a Load Carrying Capacity Modification Label to be installed over the inaccurate label.  Each label will be generated specifically for each customer’s vehicle, based on the net weight of the accessories installed.

Vehicle Safety Recall completion can be verified through TIS.  Additional information will be provided as it becomes available.

 

3. Inspection Reminder Mirror Hang Tags for Covered Vehicles

To easily recognize vehicles involved in this Safety Recall, each dealership should utilize Inspection Reminder Hang Tags. Please reference the VIN list provided to identify new vehicles in dealer inventory involved in this Safety Recall. Inside the vehicle’s glove box are stickers containing the VIN.  Apply one of these stickers to the hang tag and install the hang tag in the vehicle. A sample copy of the Inspection Reminder Hang Tag has been included for your reference.

Note: Dealerships can order Hang Tags from the Material Distribution Center (MDC).
