Plain-English summary
Gulf States Toyota (GST) is recalling certain 2019 Toyota C-HR, 4Runner, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Highlander, Land Cruiser, Prius, RAV4, Sequoia, Tacoma, Sienna, Tundra, and Yaris vehicles, as well as 2020 Corolla Hatchback models.

GST will notify owners, and dealers will provide corrected load carrying capacity modification labels free of charge. The recall began on May 24, 2019. Owners may contact GST customer service at 1-800-444-1074 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
