- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V429000
- Manufacturer: Gulf States Toyota, Inc.

## What is wrong

Gulf States Toyota, Inc. \(GST\) is recalling certain model year 2013\-2014 Toyota Tundra vehicles modified by GST as part of certain vehicle packages to be equipped with a combination of non\-Toyota\-brand 20\-inch alloy wheels and chrome plated lug nuts.  The coating on the lug nuts may give, causing the lug nuts to loosen or the wheel studs to fracture.


## What can happen

If the lug nuts loosen, or the wheel studs fracture, the wheel may separate from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GST will notify owners, and dealers will replace 20 lug nuts and torque them to specification, free of charge.  The recall began in August 2014.  Owners may contact GST customer service at 1\-800\-444\-1074.


## 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.
