What Happened
The alloy wheels on your vehicle have a specific type of nut that's only meant for the four wheels, not the spare tire. If you put the wrong nut on the spare, it could damage the wheel.
Risk if Unfixed
If you use the wrong nut on the spare wheel, it could get damaged and eventually come loose while driving, which could cause a wheel to fall off.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will give you the correct lug nuts and a warning label for the spare wheel, plus an updated owner's manual. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
