Without this label, you might not know the safe weight limit for your tires, which could lead to tire failure or an uneven tire wear pattern.
Free Fix
Your Gulf States Toyota dealer will mail you the correct label or install it for free. They'll also update your owner's manual to ensure you have the necessary information. This service is complimentary, and you should contact them at 713-580-3300 to arrange the fix.
