Summary
Toyota found a small issue with about 661 of their 2023 Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X vehicles related to tire and rim info not fully meeting safety rules. They told the government and asked for a pass, saying it doesn’t affect safety. The government agreed, so no recalls or fixes are needed, and owners won’t face any costs or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
No recall or free remedy for 661 cars
About 661 model year 2023 Subaru Solterra and Toyota bZ4X vehicles (manufactured March 30, 2022–June 3, 2022) had a tire information placard error. NHTSA granted Toyota an exemption, so Toyota is not required to notify owners or provide a free remedy for these vehicles.
Placard lists wrong vehicle capacity (925 vs 1,045 lbs)
The tire information placard on the affected vehicles incorrectly states the vehicle capacity weight as 925 pounds when it should state 1,045 pounds, a difference of 120 pounds. The manufacturer and NHTSA concluded this labeling error is inconsequential to motor vehicle safety.
Dealers still restricted from selling noncompliant cars
Although Toyota is exempted from notifying owners and providing a remedy, NHTSA's decision does not relieve vehicle distributors and dealers of the prohibitions on selling, offering for sale, or introducing into interstate commerce any noncompliant vehicles that remained under their control after Toyota notified them of the noncompliance.
