Details

What's wrong: Gulf states Toyota, Inc. (gst) is recalling certain 2017 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles equipped with accessory roof rail cross bars. The fasteners for the roof rails may not be torqued properly.

Why it matters: The roof rails may loosen and possibly detach from the vehicle, becoming a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gst will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and properly torque the fasteners, free of charge. The recall began September 29, 2017.
