2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser recall: tires
⚠️ What's wrong
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with either bridgestone dueler or dunlop grandtrek tires, there is a possibility that the inner bead of the tire may have been damaged. If the bead is damaged, a bulge may develop on the sidewall of the tire and air may leak from the area of the damaged bead.
💥 The risk
If the tire loses air pressure it may lead to a loss of vehicle control and increase the possibility of a crash.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will inspect all five tires, including the spare tire, to determine if they are within the affected tire-to-wheel assembly range and replace all involved tires with new tires free of charge. The recall began on july 5, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Note: due to an error in the dot serial number section of the technical instructions, a number of vehicles were not inspected correctly. Toyota relaunched this campaign in mid-august 2006.
