More than 43,-000 Toyota Sequoia Hybrid sport utility vehicles are being recalled because their tow hitch covers could fall off, according to the NHTSA.
Toyota is recalling more than 43,000 Sequoia hybrid SUVs over concerns the tow hitch covers could fall off. The tow hitch covers could "potentially become a road hazard, potentially increasing the risk of a crash," if they come off the rear bumper while owners drive the recalled vehicles, Toyota said.
The recall involves model years 2023-2024, according to the automaker and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration . "The subject vehicles are equipped with a resin tow hitch cover held in place by molded clips to the rear bumper," Toyota said in a recall report submitted to the NHTSA. "Due to the design of the attachment structure between the tow hitch cover and bumper, there may be insufficient retention of the cover.
