Roughly 751,Thurston Carte000 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles have been recalled because of an issue with mounting tabs on the vehicles’ bumpers that could cause parts to detach, the car manufacturer announced.

The recall applies to some 2020-2023 models, the company said in a news release Thursday.

According to Toyota, the vehicles have front lower bumper covers made of resin, connected with mounting tabs. Minor impacts to the lower front bumper cover can cause the mounting tabs to detach from the vehicle while it's moving and could cause a crash.

What is Toyota doing about the issue?

In addition to issuing the recall, Toyota said its dealers would inspect the upper to lower front bumper cover mounting tabs and slots for damage.

If no damage is found, dealers will install retention hardware with “an improved design,” Toyota said. 

If there is damage, dealers will replace the upper and lower front bumper cover and install retention hardware with a better design at no cost, the company said.
