Tire or wheel failure may cause loss of control

The spare tire air pressure was not adjusted to the proper pressure as stated on the Tire Pressure Label.

NHTSA campaign 17V295000 includes certain 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid vehicles. Gulf States Toyota, Inc. (Gulf States) is recalling certain 2017 4Runner , 86, Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Corolla, Corolla iM, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Prius, Prius C, RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, Sienna and Yaris vehicles. A spare tire that is not inflated to the proper value may not perform as intended, increasing the risk of a crash.

Symptoms to compare
  • Vibration, pressure loss or visible damage may occur, although the condition can also appear without warning
  • An open campaign appears when the complete VIN is checked
  • Some recalled vehicles may show no advance warning before the component fails

Other ways owners describe it: tire keeps losing air; wheel feels loose; tire sidewall problem; car shakes at speed; TPMS warning keeps coming on; wheel recall.

Evidence for this issue

Confirm who pays before authorizing work

A recall remedy follows the campaign and VIN eligibility. A service bulletin provides diagnosis or repair instructions; it does not by itself promise payment. Manufacturer warranty extensions and support programs have their own conditions.

Keep a current problem separate from future coverage

These files do not supply a shop quote. Ask for a diagnosis and written estimate, then check recall remedies or existing coverage. A new vehicle service contract generally excludes pre-existing conditions.

Prepare a useful description for the mechanic →

Each file retains its original source review date. Historical remedy wording can change; check the current manufacturer notice and NHTSA VIN lookup for your vehicle. The separately dated NHTSA counts elsewhere on this page use a different dataset and scope.
