Toyota Recalls Over 43,000 Sequoia SUVs for Tow-Hitch Cover Issue

Toyota’s Latest Recall Announcement

Toyota has recently announced a recall affecting 43,400 units of its Sequoia SUV models from the years 2023-2024.

This defect poses a significant safety risk as it can become a road hazard, potentially increasing the likelihood of a crash.

 

 

Details of the Problem

The core issue revolves around the resin tow-hitch cover that may detach from the rear bumper. This detachment occurs when the vehicle is driving, thus creating a road hazard that endangers not only the vehicle occupants but also other road users. Both 2023 and 2024 model-year Sequoias are affected by this defect.

Resolution and Next Steps

Toyota has committed to resolving this issue by replacing the faulty tow-hitch cover with an improved version. This service will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owners. The automaker will begin notifying affected owners by late October. For those seeking immediate assistance or inquiries, Toyota can be contacted at 800-331-4331. Additionally, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline is available at 888-327-4236. Owners can also visit Toyota’s official website to check their vehicle identification number (VIN) for more details on the recall.

Ensuring Safety and Trust

This latest recall exemplifies Toyota’s commitment to vehicle safety and customer trust. By proactively addressing this potentially hazardous issue, Toyota underscores the importance of vehicle safety standards. Vehicle owners are encouraged to take immediate action to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
