The defect
Certain toyota tundra and sequoia trucks equipped with toyota racing development (TRD) 20" alloy wheels sold and installed by toyota dealers as an aftermarket accessory wheel. due to a manufacturing error, the lug-nut holes were not machined to the appropriate specification which will reduce thread engagement. these wheels may not maintain the appropriate torque specification required securing the wheel to the vehicle.
The risk
This may eventually lead to wheel failure and possibly result in a vehicle crash.
The remedy
All six vehicle owners have been contacted by telephone and instructed to return their vehicles to their dealer for replacement of the TRD accessory 20" alloy wheels with corrected ones free of charge. owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
