Scion Recall 16V-420: Equipment – labels

Affected: 2015–2016 Scion FR-S, 2015–2016 Scion tC, 2016 Toyota Camry and 2 more. Filed with NHTSA on June 9, 2016, covering about 4,253 vehicles.

The problem

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain model year 2016 Toyota Camry and Highlander, 2015-2016 Toyota Tundra, Scion FR-S, and tC vehicles. The Load Carrying Capacity Modification Label may not reflect the correct added weight of the installed accessories. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."

The risk

An incorrect label may lead an owner to overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

SET will notify owners, and provide a corrected label for placement over the inaccurate label, free of charge. The recall began on July 14, 2016. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-866-405-4226.
