Toyota bulletin T-SB-0070-19 Rev
What it saysTSB: SUPERSESSION NOTICE The information contained in this bulletin supersedes Service Bulletin No. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Toyota filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Oct 16, 2023, received Jul 15, 2019, about the wheels — 2 documents under this number: T-SB-0070-19 and 1 more. It names 8 model years (2016–2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 8 model years this bulletin names have filed 383 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 27 of them name Structure, Back Over Prevention, Seat Belts — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under.

The vehicle drove off a hill, rolled over and landed on its top, and all the seat belts simultaneously unbuckled, causing all the passengers to hit their heads against the roof…

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Toyota T-SB-0070-19 Rev 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-0070-19 Rev 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-0070-19 Rev cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2023 Toyota 4Runner, 2022 Toyota 4Runner, 2021 Toyota 4Runner, 2020 Toyota 4Runner, 2019 Toyota 4Runner, 2018 Toyota 4Runner and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
