Toyota is recalling 22,000 2008-2011 FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia and Tundra vehicles for TPMS noncompliance. Free repair at Toyota dealers.
Toyota is recalling 22,000 2008-2011 Fj Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, and Tundra vehicles because accessory wheels and LT tires were installed before first sale without the required tire-pressure monitoring recalibration. The system can miss low tire pressure at the warning point, which increases the risk of tire failure and a crash; Toyota dealers will complete the repair free of charge once it is available.

What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system on 2008-2011 Toyota Fj Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, and Tundra vehicles watches tire pressure and turns on a low-pressure warning light when pressure drops below the required point. On these trucks and SUVs, the system is supposed to alert the driver before an underinflated tire goes unnoticed.
The problem starts when the factory wheels and tires were replaced before first sale with Toyota authorized accessory wheels and LT tires. After that change, the tire pressure monitoring system was not recalibrated correctly. Because the new wheel and tire setup was not matched to the system, the low tire pressure warning light does not begin illuminating at the minimum activation pressure required by the safety standard.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is in the calibration, so the tires can look normal and the warning light can stay off when the system should already be alerting you.

A matching year and model does not confirm inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
If the tire pressure monitor fails to warn about deflation, a tire can fail and increase crash risk. Do not rely on the monitor alone; check tire pressure and tire condition before trips and schedule the recall work soon. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2008-2011 Toyota Fj Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, or Tundra is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer and ask whether the free TPMS recalibration, label update, or ECU replacement is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 11V148 when you call, and bring the owner letter if Toyota mailed one.
- Ask the dealer for a no-charge inspection if the vehicle has Toyota accessory wheels and LT tires and you are unsure whether this recall applies.
- Watch tire pressure closely until the repair is complete, since the low-pressure warning light does not illuminate at the required pressure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician checks whether the vehicle has the Toyota authorized accessory wheels and LT tires covered by recall 11V148. For Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra vehicles, the technician calibrates the tire pressure monitoring system and installs an updated tire and loading information label. For Fj Cruiser vehicles, the remedy calls for replacing the TPMS electronic control unit because that system cannot be reset. The final dealer repair will be free once available. If you are unsure whether your vehicle has the covered accessories, a Toyota dealer can inspect it at no charge.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 11V148?
Recall 11V148 covers 22,000 2008-2011 Toyota Fj Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, and Tundra vehicles with Toyota accessory wheels and LT tires installed before first sale. The tire pressure monitoring system was not calibrated correctly, so the low-pressure warning does not illuminate at the required pressure.
What should I do if my 2008-2011 Toyota Fj Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, or Tundra is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 11V148. If it is, contact a franchised Toyota dealer for the TPMS inspection and repair. Reference recall number 11V148 when you call. The dealer inspection and recall repair are free.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to repair recall defects at no cost, and Toyota says dealers will complete the TPMS remedy free of charge. The repair is a TPMS recalibration and updated tire label for most models, or TPMS ECU replacement for affected Fj Cruiser vehicles.
What is the safety risk in recall 11V148?
The safety risk is that the TPMS does not warn at the required low tire pressure. A missed tire-deflation warning can lead to tire failure and increase crash risk. Toyota dealers correct the TPMS issue for free so the warning system meets the required activation pressure.
What if I bought my Toyota used?
The free recall repair still applies. Federal recall law follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Because this recall depends on accessory wheels and LT tires installed before first sale, check your VIN and ask a Toyota dealer to inspect the vehicle at no charge if you are unsure.
