The short answer

NHTSA received Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC’s report on Dec 30, 2014. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.

Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.

What’s wrong with it?

Accessories that detach from a vehicle may result in a vehicle crash and/or personal injury.

Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Toyota 4Runner, Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, Land Cruiser, RAV4, Scion FRS, and XB vehicles.

The affected vehicles may have accessories installed by SET, such as running boards or other items, that were incorrectly installed.

The accessory attaching fasteners were not tightened with the proper torque, possibly causing the accessory to detach from the vehicle.

What the record doesn’t say

  • NHTSA’s recall file doesn’t say whether anyone was hurt. Owners’ complaints are counted on each vehicle’s page.
  • Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
  • How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
