Toyota/Scion Recalls Several Models for Load Carrying Labels
Toyota is recalling 1,348 model year (MY) 2009 and 2010 passenger cars built from June 2, 2008 to May 4, 2009. This recall includes MY 2009 Scion tC and xB as well as Toyota Highlander, RAV4, Sienna, Tacoma, Yaris and MY 2009-2010 Tundra.
