Protect Your Vehicle

NHTSA recall information identifies two safety concerns for the 2017 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. The spare-tire issue involves inflation that may not match the pressure shown on the Tire Pressure Label. If the spare is needed, incorrect pressure could prevent it from performing as intended and increase crash risk.
