What is being recalled
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain 2011-2016 Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner vehicles equipped with accessory hood scoops installed by SET or SET dealers. The adhesive attaching the hood scoop may weaken, allowing the hood scoop to detach from the vehicle.
Why it is dangerous
If the hood scoop detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
SET will notify owners, and dealers will mechanically fasten the scoop to the hood, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2017. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-954-429-2000. SET's number for this recall is SET17B.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-425 when calling a dealer.
