## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Tacoma trucks manufactured August 20, 2015, to September 10, 2015.  In the affected vehicles, incorrect bolts were used to install the driver's knee air bag module.


## What can happen

The incorrect bolts may loosen over time and affect the performance of the driver's knee air bag, increasing the risk of driver injury during a crash that necessitates deployment of the air bags.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install the correct driver's knee air bag module mounting bolts, free of charge.  The recall began on November 19, 2015.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is F0T.
