The problem

The risk
Axle shaft separation can cause a loss of vehicle stability and brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the rear axle assembly, tighten the axle flange nuts, and replace any damaged axle-related components if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 15, 2022. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 22TA05.
