Southeast Toyota Distributors (SET) is recalling 34 model year 2018-2019 Toyota 4Runners. Certain steering and suspension components may not have been tightened properly during installation.

Loose fasteners may cause a loss of vehicle control, or cause an accessory to detach from the vehicle and become a road hazard. Either of these scenarios can increase the risk of a crash or injury.

What to do

SET will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and re-tighten the steering and suspension fasteners as necessary free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin November 19, 2019.

Owners may contact SET customer service at (866) 405-4226. SET's number for this recall is SET19B.
