Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Toyota is recalling certain 2008 through 2011 model year FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, Tacoma, Sequoia, and Tundra vehicles. The vehicles were equipped with Toyota authorized accessory wheels and light truck tires that were installed before the vehicles were first sold, but the tire pressure monitoring systems were not recalibrated correctly. As a result, the low tire pressure warning light will not illuminate at the required pressure, which violates federal safety standards and could lead to tire failure and increase the risk of a crash.
For Land Cruiser, Sequoia, Tacoma, and Tundra vehicles, Toyota dealers will recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring system and install an updated tire and loading information label at no charge. For FJ Cruiser vehicles, the electronic control unit for the tire pressure monitoring system will be replaced at no charge; however, Toyota states it is currently developing the remedy part. Owners uncertain whether their vehicle is affected should contact any Toyota dealer for a free inspection. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

FAILURE TO WARN OF TIRE DEFLATIONS IS A NON-COMPLIANCE WITH FMVSS 138 AND COULD LEAD TO TIRE FAILURE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
FOR THE LAND CRUISER, SEQUOIA, TACOMA AND TUNDRA VEHICLES, THE DEALER WILL RE-CALIBRATE THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM ON AFFECTED VEHICLES AND INSTALL AN UPDATED TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION LABEL AT NO CHARGE. FOR THE FJ CRUISER VEHICLES, THE TPMS CANNOT BE RESET SO THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT (ECU) FOR THE TPMS WILL BE REPLACED. TOYOTA IS CURRENTLY DEVELOPING THE REMEDY ECU. IF AN OWNER IS NOT CERTAIN WHETHER HIS OR HER VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH THESE ACCESSORIES, PLEASE CONTACT ANY TOYOTA DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION AT NO CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 31, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-800-331-4331.
TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2008 THROUGH 2011 FJ CRUISER, LAND CRUISER, TACOMA, SEQUOIA AND TUNDRA VEHICLES FOR FAILING TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 138, "TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS)." WHEN FACTORY-INSTALLED WHEELS AND TIRES WERE REPLACED WITH TOYOTA AUTHORIZED ACCESSORY WHEELS AND LT TIRES PRIOR TO FIRST SALE, THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEMS WERE NOT RE-CALIBRATED CORRECTLY AND THEREFORE DO NOT START ILLUMINATING THE LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING TELLTALE AT THE REQUIRED MINIMUM ACTIVATION PRESSURE.
