2015 Toyota Tundra Recall 15V315: Tire Placard Error

Recall 15V315 affects 144 2015 Toyota Tundra trucks with incorrect tire-pressure placards. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.

Toyota is recalling 144 2015 Tundra trucks because the tire placard lists the wrong recommended cold tire inflation pressure. Owners who follow that label can underinflate the Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires, increasing the risk of tire failure and a crash; Toyota dealers will correct the placard free of charge.

What's wrong?

The tire placard on a 2015 Toyota Tundra is the label that tells an owner the correct cold tire pressure for the tires installed on the truck. For these Tundras, SET installed Nitto Terra Grappler G2 275/60R20 116S XL tires, so the placard needed to match Nitto's pressure recommendation for that tire and load.

The problem is the label, not a cracked tire or failed wheel part. Nitto first gave SET a 30/33 psi front/rear recommendation, then revised it to 33/36 psi and later to 34/36 psi. That left affected trucks with a placard that stated the wrong cold inflation pressure. If an owner follows that label, the tires are not set to the pressure Nitto later specified for the replacement tire.

There is no warning sign before failure. The owner-facing clue is the placard itself: the number printed on the label does not match the corrected recommendation, so the dealer installs a new placard and re-initializes the tire pressure monitoring system.

Who's affected?

The issue centers on vehicle label and tire information, so the VIN check matters even when the truck looks like other 2015 Tundras.

Field incidentsNHTSA has logged no field incidents to date.

Not every 2015 Toyota Tundra pickup truck is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.

What's the safety risk?

The incorrect tire placard can lead an owner to set the tires below the proper cold inflation pressure. Underinflated tires raise the risk of tire failure and a crash. There is no warning sign before failure. If your VIN is included, use the corrected tire pressure guidance from the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.

What should I do?

  1. Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Toyota Tundra is included in this recall.
  2. Contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the free tire-placard replacement, which gives the correct cold tire inflation pressure for the installed tires.
  3. Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 15V315 when you call.
  4. Use Toyota or dealer tire-pressure guidance until the new placard is installed, and avoid driving on underinflated tires.

What happens at the repair

At the dealer, a Toyota technician installs a new tire placard with the correct cold tire inflation pressure information. The replacement label and labor are free under the recall. For a prior out of pocket repair tied to this tire pressure label issue, Toyota's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Bring the related repair paperwork to the service desk and ask how to submit it under the plan.

Frequently asked questions

What is recall 15V315?

Recall 15V315 covers 144 2015 Toyota Tundra trucks equipped with Nitto Terra Grappler G2 tires and an incorrect tire placard. The label lists the wrong cold tire inflation pressure, which can leave the tires underinflated. Toyota dealers will install a corrected placard for free.

What should I do if my 2015 Toyota Tundra is on this recall?

Check your VIN to confirm your specific truck is included in recall 15V315. If it is, contact a franchised Toyota dealer and ask for the corrected tire placard installation. Reference recall number 15V315 when you call. The repair is free.

Is the recall repair free?

Yes. Federal recall law requires the recall remedy to be performed at no cost, and the dealer will install a new tire placard with the correct cold tire inflation pressure information free of charge.

What is the safety risk?

The safety risk is underinflated tires. If the operator follows the incorrect tire placard, the tires can run below the required cold inflation pressure. That raises the risk of tire failure and a crash. Use your VIN to confirm whether your truck is included.

What if I bought my Toyota Tundra used?

The free repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. If you never received the owner notice, check your VIN to confirm whether this 2015 Toyota Tundra is included, then call a franchised Toyota dealer with recall number 15V315.
