Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing "Toyota" is recalling certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The steel chain used to secure the spare tire to the underside of the vehicle may have been insufficiently welded.

Consequence

Chains that are not welded sufficiently can break and allow the spare tire to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the spare tire carrier assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 14, 2023. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 23TB06/23TA06.
