NHTSA recall 17V051000
Structure · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a resin rear step bumper and resin reinforcement brackets (vehicles with chrome step bumpers are not affected). In the event of an impact to the corner of the bumper, the resin bracket may be damaged but not be noticed.
Why it matters: If a person steps on the corner of the bumper that is damaged, a portion of the bumper may break away, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the resin rear bumper reinforcement brackets with steel ones, and replace the rear bumper tread, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 2017.
