Component

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM:MANIFOLD/HEADER/MUFFLER/TAIL PIPE

What Happened

The exhaust system on your 4Runner is designed to safely carry exhaust gases away from the vehicle. However, some older models may have a faulty exhaust tip that could potentially touch people behind the vehicle and cause burns.

Risk if Unfixed

If you're standing behind your vehicle and the exhaust tip is faulty, it could come into contact with you and cause serious burns.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your dealer will replace the old exhaust tip with a new, safer design that's designed to be farther away from the bumper, and this repair is completely free for you.
