RECALL South East Toyota Installed Hood Scoops

Vehicles Affected: Model-year 2011-16 Toyota Tacoma pickup trucks equipped with accessory hood scoops installed by Southeast Toyota Distributors or SET dealers are among the approximately 3,500 vehicles being recalled with model year 2011-16 4Runner SUVs

The Problem: The adhesive attaching the hood scoop may weaken, allowing the hood scoop to detach from the vehicle, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.

The Fix: Dealers will mechanically fasten the scoop to the hood for free.

What Owners Should Do: SET will begin notifying owners Aug. 28. Owners can call SET at 954-429-2000, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.

Actual cause is tape degrades .. not SET can't install hood scoops.

 

SET installed the hood scoop.

This isn't the third gen forum, so I edited the title

 

Third Gen started in '11? Huh? Ok, clearly I've missed something here.

 

So rather than waste time going into dealer, just tape it if it falls off or becomes loose. Done and done.

 

This is for all of the hood scoops installed by SET from 2011 to 2016
