Recall 11V185 affects 1,489 2009-2011 Toyota Tundra and Fj Cruiser vehicles for low tire pressure warning failures. Recalibration is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
Toyota is recalling 1,489 2009-2011 Tundra and Fj Cruiser vehicles because the tire pressure monitoring system was not calibrated correctly. If the low tire pressure lamp does not illuminate, a driver can continue driving on an underinflated tire, which increases the risk of tire failure and a crash; the dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system on the 2009-2011 Toyota Tundra and Fj Cruiser watches tire inflation and turns on the low tire pressure warning lamp when pressure drops below the set limit. That lamp is meant to warn the driver before an underinflated tire affects handling, tire wear, or heat buildup.
In NHTSA campaign 11V185, the system was not properly calibrated on affected vehicles. As a result, the low tire pressure warning lamp can stay off even when one or more tires have dropped below the pressure level where the lamp should turn on. The tire itself has not failed because of this recall, but the warning system is not doing its normal job.
There is no warning sign before failure. The problem is the missing warning: a tire loses pressure, but the dashboard lamp does not alert you at the required threshold.
Who's affected?
Tundra appears across the 2009, 2010, and 2011 model years; Fj Cruiser appears only for 2011, with the same tire pressure monitoring component.

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?
The tire pressure monitor will not warn drivers when one or more tires are underinflated. That lets the vehicle be driven on low tire pressure, which raises the risk of tire failure and a crash. Check tire pressure manually and arrange the recalibration when the dealer confirms availability. Repair will be free at any franchised Toyota dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2009-2011 Toyota Tundra or Fj Cruiser is included in this recall.
- Review the Toyota owner letter mailed July 19, 2011, and keep it with your vehicle records.
- Call Toyota customer assistance at 1-800-444-1074 with questions and reference recall number 11V185.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer for the free TPMS recalibration that lets the low tire pressure warning lamp turn on at the required threshold.
- Keep tire pressures checked manually until the TPMS recalibration is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician recalibrates the tire pressure monitoring system so the low tire pressure warning lamp is set to the required threshold. Toyota listed the recall start for June 2011, but the available details do not state a current remedy status. Once the dealer repair is open for your VIN, the recalibration is free under the recall. Ask the Toyota service desk to confirm that campaign 11V185 applies to your vehicle before the work is performed.
