Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Gulf States Toyota is recalling certain 2011 FJ Cruiser and 2009-2011 Tundra vehicles because the tire pressure monitoring system may not have been properly calibrated. As a result, the low tire pressure warning lamp may fail to illuminate when one or more tires become underinflated. This defect prevents drivers from receiving a necessary warning about underinflated tires.
Underinflated tires increase the risk of tire failure, which could lead to a crash. To remedy this issue, Toyota dealers will recalibrate the tire pressure monitoring system at no charge. The recall was expected to begin in June 2011. Owners of affected vehicles should contact the Gulf State Toyota Customer Assistance Center toll-free at 1-800-444-1074 Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, or Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM Central Standard Time.
