What it saysTSB: Some 2015 ? 2023 model year TRD Pro Edition 4Runner vehicles may exhibit an abnormal noise when in Reverse with the wheels at or near full lock due to interference between the tire and bumper and/or fender liner. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Toyota filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Nov 8, 2023, received Dec 26, 2023, about the wheels. 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.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 8 model years this bulletin names have filed 381 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 4 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.
A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Toyota TSB007019 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 TSB007019 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 TSB007019 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.
