What Happened
The Load Carrying Capacity Modification Label on your vehicle shows the maximum weight it can safely carry, including any added accessories like roof racks or tow hitches. But on certain 2016 Toyota and Scion models, this label might not be accurate, leading to a misrepresentation of the vehicle's weight capacity.
Risk if Unfixed
If you load your vehicle with more weight than it's rated for, you could be at risk of a crash, especially on the highway or when towing a trailer.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will provide you with a corrected label to replace the old one, free of charge. This is a quick and easy fix that will ensure you're aware of your vehicle's safe weight capacity.
