What Happened
The exhaust tip on your 4Runner is the part that sticks out from the back of the car. In some 2010-2015 models, these tips were installed in a way that can potentially touch people behind the vehicle and cause burns.
Risk if Unfixed
If the exhaust tip comes into contact with you while you're standing behind the vehicle, you could get burned – seriously injured.
Free Fix
Your dealer will swap out the old exhaust tip for a new, safer design that's smaller and recessed further behind the bumper – completely free of charge.
