What's wrong?

The required load carrying capacity modification label is part of the tire and loading information system on covered 2004-2011 vehicles. That label tells an owner or service shop how added equipment changes the vehicle's safe carrying limits. It works alongside the tire selection and rim information required by Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 110.

On these vehicles, the problem is not a broken mechanical part. The vehicles were sold without the required modification labels, so the information on the vehicle does not fully reflect the load capacity after modification. Without that label, an owner or shop can rely on incomplete loading information when choosing cargo weight, passenger load, tires, or rims.

There is no warning sign before failure. This is a missing-label recall, so the issue is found by checking the vehicle's labels and confirming whether the required load carrying capacity modification label is present.

Who's affected?

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.

What's the safety risk?

An incorrect vehicle label can lead a driver to overload the vehicle, which increases crash risk. Check the corrected label before loading passengers or cargo, and arrange the recall work so the weight information is accurate. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2004-2011 Toyota or Scion model is included in this recall.
  2. Watch for Toyota's recall notice with the corrected load-carrying-capacity label.
  3. Call Toyota customer service at 1-800-301-6859 with questions and reference recall number 10V036.
  4. Ask a franchised Toyota dealer to install the corrected label free of charge if you do not want to install it yourself.
  5. Avoid loading the vehicle above the corrected label rating once you receive it.

What happens at the repair

The remedy is a corrected load carrying capacity modification label. Toyota's recall plan calls for owners to receive the corrected label by mail or have a dealer install it at no charge. If handled at the dealer, a Toyota technician installs the label so the vehicle has the required load carrying capacity information. Parts and labor for dealer label installation are covered by the recall once the remedy is available.
