ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING Safety Recalls

Critical #16V577000 Plain English
Component

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

Manufacturer
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC
What Happened
The exhaust system in your 4Runner is the part that carries gas fumes away from your engine. Some aftermarket exhaust tips installed on your vehicle could be too close to the back bumper and could potentially burn you if you're standing behind the car.
Risk if Unfixed
If someone touches the exhaust tip, they could get burned — it's a serious risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your SET dealer will swap out the existing exhaust tip for a redesigned one that's smaller and tucked away from the bumper, all at no cost to you.

Critical #15V515000 Plain English
Component

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

Manufacturer
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC
What Happened
The part in question is the exhaust tip, which is the shiny pipe that comes out from under your 4Runner's rear bumper. It's usually installed as an accessory, but in some cases, it could get too close to the ground and potentially touch you when you're standing behind the vehicle.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're standing behind your 4Runner and the exhaust tip is loose, it could touch you and cause a burn. This is a serious injury risk.
Free Fix
Your dealership will install a redesigned exhaust tip that's smaller and more protected from accidental contact, all at no cost to you. This should be done as soon as possible, so be sure to schedule the repair when you get the recall notice.
