Recall 06V-235: 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for tires, reported to NHTSA on Jun 26, 2006, covering about 9,434 vehicles.
The problem
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with either bridgestone dueler or dunlop grandtrek tires, there is a possibility that the inner bead of the tire may have been damaged. If the bead is damaged, a bulge may develop on the sidewall of the tire and air may leak from the area of the damaged bead.
The risk
If the tire loses air pressure it may lead to a loss of vehicle control and increase the possibility of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect all five tires, including the spare tire, to determine if they are within the affected tire-to-wheel assembly range and replace all involved tires with new tires free of charge. The recall began on july 5, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Note: due to an error in the DOT serial number section of the technical instructions, a number of vehicles were not inspected correctly. Toyota relaunched this campaign in mid-august 2006.
