What's wrong?
The lug nuts on the affected 2013-2017 Toyota Sequoia and Tundra vehicles hold the 20-inch Rockstar wheel tight against the wheel hub. Each lug nut threads onto a wheel stud and provides clamping force, which keeps the wheel seated while the truck or SUV turns, brakes, and carries load.
The problem is the hardness of the lug nuts installed with those accessory wheels. A defective batch did not meet SAE hardness specifications, the material standard for how hard the metal needs to be. When the metal is too weak for the job, the lug nut cracks. A cracked lug nut no longer holds the wheel with the intended force, and a detached lug nut leaves less clamping force on that wheel.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a noise, vibration, or dashboard alert to tell you the lug nuts have started to crack.

What's the safety risk?
A cracked lugnut can detach and let a wheel separate from the vehicle, increasing crash risk. There is no warning sign before failure, so confirm whether your VIN is included and arrange the dealer repair promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2013-2017 Toyota Sequoia or Tundra is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the free replacement-lugnut repair for Rockstar wheels, which replaces lugnuts that crack and detach.
- Bring the recall notice if Toyota has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 17V311 when you call.
- Avoid unnecessary driving until the repair is complete. Cracked or detached lugnuts increase the risk of wheel separation.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician replaces the lugnuts installed with the Southeast Toyota accessory Rockstar wheels. The recall repair is free, including parts and labor. The issue involves lugnuts that can crack and detach from the wheel, so the repair uses new replacement lugnuts. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty for the vehicles and wheels, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
