Description

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023 Tundra, Tundra Hybrid, and Sequoia Hybrid vehicles. The steel chain used to secure the spare tire to the underside of the vehicle may have been insufficiently welded. Chains that are not welded sufficiently can break and allow the spare tire to detach, increasing the risk of a crash.
