A seat with improperly fastened bolts could lead to an increased risk of injury in the event of a crash. In the 2018 models, a vehicle diagnostic function may unnecessarily turn off the vehicle stability control system and affect other systems, increasing the risk of a crash. If this occurs, warning lights, messages and a chime will display and sound. Turning off the VSC to stop the warnings could also increase the risk of a crash. **The Fix:** Toyota dealers will tighten the bolts to the proper specifications in the 2017 Tundra and update the software in the electronic control unit of the 2018 Tundra free of charge. **What Owners Should Do:** Toyota will begin notifying owners by first-class mail in the middle of March. Owners can call the manufacturer at 800-331-4331, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its [website]() to check their [vehicle identification number](). **Need to Find a Dealer for Service?** Go to [Cars.com Service & Repair]() to find your local dealer.
