Component
TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
Manufacturer
Gulf States Toyota, Inc.
What Happened
The temporary spare tire on your vehicle is the extra tire that you use when one of your regular tires is flat. It needs to be inflated to the right pressure to work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the spare tire isn't inflated to the correct pressure, it might not grip the road as well as it should. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving at high speeds or on slippery roads.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will check the air pressure in your spare tire and adjust it to the correct level, free of charge. You should schedule this inspection as soon as you receive the recall notice.
