NY Post makes it seem like the tow hitch is made of resin. It’s not. The actual recall notice says it’s only the little cover for the tow hitch that is resin, and that this resin cover may pop off while driving due to a defect in the cover retaining clips. It may cause a hazard to other vehicles due to it becoming road debris. Pop it off, wait for the replacement, and keep on truckin’.
I work for Toyota. Of all current, recent recalls they have , they write a story about this one? weird.
