Recall 18V711 affects 508 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra trucks for an incorrect load-carrying label. Toyota provides owners with the corrected label free.
Toyota is recalling 508 2018-2019 Tundra trucks because accessory all-weather floormats were counted twice on the load carrying capacity modification label, overstating the added weight by 10 pounds. The issue leaves the label outside the FMVSS compliance range, and Toyota dealers will install a corrected label free of charge.

What's wrong?
The load carrying capacity modification label on a 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra tells an owner how installed accessories change the truck's carrying information. It is part of the weight information a driver uses when loading cargo, passengers, and equipment. On the 1794 Edition trucks in this recall, that label is tied to the accessory all-weather floor mats.
The label problem came from a Toyota system error, not from a broken floor mat or a failed truck part. The system counted the all-weather floor mat accessory twice, so the label overstated the added accessory weight by 10 pounds. Toyota corrected the system error and identified the VINs processed during that period.
There is no warning sign before failure because no mechanical part is failing. This is a label accuracy issue, and Toyota's filing says the overstatement creates no safety risk. An owner would not hear, smell, or feel a vehicle symptom from this defect.
Who's affected?
Both Tundra model years point to the same vehicle label component.
| 2018 Toyota Tundra | vehicle label (placard or certification) |

| 2019 Toyota Tundra | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 508 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
The safety issue is the certification label, not a stated part failure. The label does not match the added weight closely enough, so the Tundra does not meet the federal standard named in recall 18V711. Use the corrected label when Toyota sends it. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra is included in this recall.
- Contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 for the corrected load carrying capacity label that fixes the double-counted all-weather floormat weight.
- Reference recall number 18V711 and Toyota recall J0Z when you call.
- Replace the incorrect label with the corrected Toyota label as soon as it arrives.
- Keep the corrected label with the vehicle information so future loading checks use the right capacity label.
What happens at the repair
Toyota's remedy is a corrected load carrying capacity modification label. Toyota sends the corrected label to owners, and a Toyota technician or service desk can help confirm the label is the current recall label and install it if needed. The recall work is free. If you already paid out of pocket for a label-related correction before the recall notice, Toyota's standard reimbursement plan covers documented expenses. Keep the paperwork and contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371, or ask the dealer how to submit the claim.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 18V711?
Recall 18V711 covers 508 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra vehicles with an incorrect load carrying capacity modification label. Accessory all-weather floor mats were counted twice, so the label overstates the added weight by 10 pounds and does not meet FMVSS 110. Toyota will send owners a corrected label.
What should I do if my 2018-2019 Toyota Tundra is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Tundra is included in recall 18V711. If it is, use the corrected label Toyota sends and follow Toyota's instructions for replacing the incorrect load carrying capacity modification label. You can call Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 and reference recall J0Z.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires manufacturers to correct recall defects at no cost, and Toyota's remedy is a corrected label for affected owners. Toyota identifies this recall as J0Z. Contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 if you need help with the corrected label.
What is the safety risk?
The official consequence is FMVSS noncompliance, not a stated crash or injury condition. The load carrying capacity modification label overstates the added weight by 10 pounds, and the incorrect label is not within 1% of the additional weight. The fix is the corrected Toyota label.
