Toyota recalls 34,000 vehicles in Gulf states

September 13, 2024 — Gulf States Toyota is recalling nearly 34,000 vehicles equipped with Gulf States accessories.

GST said the recall was necessary because the carrying capacity modification labels may show inaccurate increased weight values.

Until the fix was made, the vehicles, sold by Gulf States, violated federal safety standards.

• 2023 Toyota GR Supra

• 2024 Toyota 4Runner

• 2024 Toyota Corolla

• 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander / Grand Highlander Hybrid

• 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser Hybrid

• 2024 Toyota Tacoma / Tacoma Hybrid

• 2023-2024 Toyota BZ4X

• 2023-2024 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid

• 2023-2024 Toyota GR Corolla

• 2023-2024 Toyota GR86

• 2023-2024 Toyota Prius / Prius Prime

• 2023-2024 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid

• 2023-2024 Toyota Tundra / Tundra Hybrid

• 2023-2024 Toyota Venza Hybrid

• 2023-2025 Toyota Crown

• 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Gulf States applies the wrong label, but the added weight shown on the label may be higher or lower than the total weight of the accessories installed on the vehicle.

However, federal regulations require that the reduction in carrying capacity be accurate to within one percent of the increase in weight.

Drivers may follow current labels and end up unknowingly overloading their vehicles and increasing their risk of a crash.

The recall letter to owners is expected to be mailed on September 16, 2024, but owners do not need to go to the dealership as GST will mail the new label to the owner.

Gulf state Toyota owners with questions should call 800-444-1074 and reference recall number 24R2.
