- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 13V494000
- Manufacturer: Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC
- Reported: 2013\-10\-17
- Owners notified: 2014\-01\-23
- Component: TIRES:TEMPORARY/EMERGENCY SPARE TIRE
- Units potentially affected: 979

## What is wrong

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC \(SET\) is recalling certain model year 2012\-2013 Tacoma vehicles equipped with 18" Maverick Alloy Wheels.  In the affected vehicles, the spare tire requires the use of a different style of lug nut to attach it to the vehicle than the other wheels use.  These lug nuts were not provided with the vehicle.


## What can happen

If the spare tire/wheel is installed on the vehicle using the lug nuts from another wheel, damage to the wheel could result and may eventually lead to a loose wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

SET will notify owners, and dealers will: \(a\) Install a Warning Label on the spare tire/wheel, \(b\) supply a bag containing proper spare wheel lug nuts, and \(c\) place an Owner's Manual Addendum in the vehicle's glove box.  The recall began on January 23, 2014.  Owners may contact SET at 1\-954\-429\-2000.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
