Affected vehicles include model-year 2023-24 Sequoias. The resin tow-hitch cover on these vehicles may separate from the rear bumper while the vehicle is in motion and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will resolve the issue by replacing the current tow-hitch cover with an improved one, as necessary, for free. Toyota will notify vehicle owners by late October, but those with further questions can contact the automaker at 800-331-4331, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check your vehicle identification number and learn more.
