What Happened
The stainless steel exhaust tip on your Highlander or Highlander Hybrid is held on by a clamp that's prone to cracking due to improper heat treatment. This clamp is like a strong but fragile metal band that could break apart.
Risk if Unfixed
If the clamp breaks, it could fall off and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash as other drivers might hit it or swerve to avoid it.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the clamp for free, so you should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice. This will ensure your exhaust tip stays securely in place.
