A Toyota distributor issued a recall for more than 33,000 model year 2023-2025 Toyota vehicles over concerns they have load carrying capacity modification labels that may display inaccurate added weight values.ย

โIn the worst case, a driver may unknowingly overload a vehicle, which may increase the risk of crash,โ the Toyota recall says.ย

How difficult is it to create a search tool to determine if your vehicle is affected? The search tool could be based on VINโor in this case, based on dealership. How am I to know if my car was distributed by Gulf States Toyota? I live in a gulf state, and it upsets me that I have to await correspondence that may not even come. Who needs that anxiety? Come on, Toyota; you can do better than this.
I have a 2024 Corolla. Unsure if Iโm affected or not on this one.

I purchased a 2023 Toyota Camry last year Brand Bew and I have already had to replace the water pump and they didnโt tell me why. But since it was under warranty still there was no charge.
I bought a 2023 RAV4 hybrid with 4 miles in June 2023 and Iโm beyond disappointed with lots of aspects of this new vehicle.
My Tacoma transmission slips in low speeds and no one at Beaverton Toyota has been concerned. Iโm really concerned. Been happening since new.
