Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 36 model years this bulletin names have filed 2,724 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 10 of them name Wheels — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
Passenger side rear tire failed - Tire is at dealer and available for inspection - Extremely dangerous situation, tire failed on a section of interstate highway under construction. Only 2 lanes available and they were narrower than normal width. Part of the shoulder was converted to driving lane so almost no shoulder to pull off on.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Toyota T-SB-0042-23 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the T-SB-0042-23 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Toyota warranty extension on file lists the ones Toyota has filed.
Which vehicles does T-SB-0042-23 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 43 model years: 2024 Toyota 4Runner, 2023 Toyota 4Runner, 2024 Toyota Camry, 2023 Toyota Camry, 2024 Toyota Corolla, 2023 Toyota Corolla and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
