Recall Alert: 2009-10 Scions and Toyotas

Jun 23 2009 by Jennifer Newman

Toyota is recalling 1,348 Scions and Toyotas, including some mom-mobiles, from the 2009 and 2010 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The following models are part of the recall: the 2009 Scion tC and xB, the 2009 Toyota Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma and Yaris, and the 2009 and 2010 Tundra.

These models are missing load-carrying capacity modification labels, and that fails to conform with federal requirements. Without the label, owners could overload their vehicles, which would increase the risk of a crash.

Toyota will provide owners with a new label free of charge. For more information, Toyota and Scion owners can call Toyota at 888-270-9371 or NHTSA at 888-327-4236.

   I thought it was something really serious like the air bags will go off while driving or the rear left wheel falls off when exceeding 50 mph. Scared me there, cause I own an 09 Scion tC. But thanks for the info, its always good to know things. I see that sticker, its yellow and has a warning that vehicle carrying capacity has been reduced by “-11 lbs” or something like that. I got mine Oct 31 2009
