Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Plain-English summary
Gulf States Toyota is recalling certain 2022 model year vehicles, including the Tacoma, 4Runner, Highlander, and Highlander Hybrid. Approximately 661 vehicles are potentially affected.
