Recall history
2 distinct campaigns affect this selection. Announcement dates below are different from vehicle model years. A campaign may cover multiple years.
98V277000 · Wheels:Lugs/Nuts/Bolts/Studs
Reported: 1998-11-04 (November 4, 1998) · Model years: 1998, 1999
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: 1998-1999 TOYOTA SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH WHEEL LUG NUTS, PART NO. 1207, SUPPLIED BY PRIME WHEEL CORPORATION, AND DISTRIBUTED BY GULF STATES TOYOTA, INC. IN THE STATES OF TEXAS, OKLAHOMA, ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, AND MISSISSIPPI ONLY. THE LUG NUTS CONTAIN A DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE LOSS OF THE LUG NUTS, AND POSSIBLE LOSS OF THE WHEEL.
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE ALL THE WHEEL LUG NUTS AND ALSO PERFORM A COMPLIMENTARY WHEEL ROTATION WHEN THE REPAIR IS DONE.
NHTSA campaign record ↗00V252000 · Vehicle Speed Control
Reported: 2000-09-21 (September 21, 2000) · Model years: 2000
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES FITTED WITH SPEED CONTROL DEVICES AT GULF STATES TOYOTA'S VEHICLE PROCESSING CENTER OR INSTALLED BY CERTAIN TOYOTA DEALERS IN GULF STATES' REGION (ARKANSAS, LOUISIANA, MISSISSIPPI, OKLAHOMA, AND TEXAS). THE E-CLIP WHICH HOLDS THE SPEED CONTROL ASSEMBLY TO THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE COULD BREAK. IF THE E-CLIP FAILS, THE SPEED CONTROL ATTACHMENT COULD COME OFF, CAUSING THE SPEED CONTROL TO STOP WORKING.
Consequence: THE LOOSE ATTACHMENT COULD CAUSE THE ACCELERATOR TO STICK, PREVENTING NORMAL STOPPING AND HANDLING OF THE VEHICLE.
Remedy: GULF STATES DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE E-CLIP WITH A COTTER PIN.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
2000: 1 complaints · 2002: 1 complaints
| Model year | Through age 0 | Through age 1 | Through age 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 2002 | 0 | 1 | 1 |
Date coverage across each selected cohort
| Year | Incident dates used | Filing date fallbacks | Excluded dates |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 2002 | 1 | 0 | 0 |
Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
