Vehicles Affected: Approximately 850 model-year 2015-16 Toyota 4Runner SUVs manufactured between Sept. 22, 2014, and March 23, 2016, and equipped with accessories installed by Gulf States Toyota Inc. in Houston
The Problem: The load-carrying capacity modification label may not reflect the correct added weight of the installed accessories, which could result in the vehicle being overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will install an accurate label for free.
