Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with run-flat tires with a sidewall reinforcement layer inside the tire. The tire-on-wheel assembly process may have caused the reinforcement layer to crack, possibly resulting in the tire tread layer separating from the tire.

Why it matters: If the tire tread layer separates from the vehicle, vehicle handling and stability may be affected, increasing the risk of crash.

The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and Lexus dealers will replace the affected tires, free of charge. The recall began April 26, 2019.
