After discovering a potential fire risk, Toyota has moved to recall nearly 168,000 recently manufactured Tundras, the car manufacturer shared last week.
In a recall notice posted to the company’s website, Toyota shared that the affected vehicle’s plastic fuel tube could “move and rub against a brake line,” resulting in a fuel leak.
The recall covers certain 2022 and 2023 model years cars, including Toyota Tundra and Tundra Hybrid vehicles.
The leaked fuel could cause a fire in the presence of an ignition source. Toyota is “currently preparing the remedy parts for this recall,” according to the notice.
In the meantime, affected vehicle owners are advised to head to their dealers so they can install protective materials in the cars and provide a clamp on the fuel tubes for free, the company shared in its recall notice.
The company plans on notifying owners of recalled car models of any potential defects as soon as early October.
Car owners with questions about vehicle recalls can call Toyota’s Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
It was not shared if there have been any injuries as a result of the issue.
