Toyota didn’t specify which cover is affected other than that it’s an official Toyota, not an aftermarket brand, but the only one listed on the consumer website is a hard tonneau. This can cause some nasty damage at highway speeds.
The good news is that owners with affected covers can simply remove them until a fix is ​​determined for the cover. The company will begin sending notifications to affected customers this month. Concerned owners can also run their VIN to check for open recalls through Toyota’s website (Toyota.com/recall) or NHTSA (nhtsa.gov/recalls).
