The problem

Gulf states toyota (gst) is recalling certain model year 2012 tacoma trucks. The tire and loading information placard on each vehicle contains inaccurate spare tire size and cold inflation pressure information. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110,”tire selection and rims.”

The risk

An incorrect placard could lead to improper spare tire use or replacement which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix

Gst will notify owners, and send each owner a corrected placard, free of charge. The safety recall began on june 5, 2012. Owners may contact gulf states toyota, inc. At 1-713-744-3465.
