The seat heaters in your vehicle have a thin copper wire that warms up your seat. In some models, this wire can be damaged when the seat cushion is compressed, like when you sit down. If the copper wire is damaged, it can start a fire in your seat, which could spread to other parts of your vehicle and cause serious damage. Your Toyota dealer will remove the faulty seat heaters and give you a refund for the cost of the accessory. This service is free, and you should schedule it after checking repair availability with your dealer. This timing describes the original 2016 filing; contact your dealer now to confirm the free repair is available.

Your dealer will disconnect the faulty seat heaters to prevent any potential fires, and you'll get a full refund for the cost of the seat heaters, all at no charge to you.

The load carrying capacity modification labels on your vehicle are important for keeping you safe on the road. These labels tell you how much weight your vehicle can safely carry.

This could lead to overloading, which increases the risk of tire failure, loss of control, and a possible crash. Your dealer will mail you the correct labels or install them for you at no charge. They'll also update your owner's manual to ensure you have the correct information. Just contact Gulf States Toyota at 713-580-3300 to schedule this free fix.
