Toyota has issued a recall for its 2023-2024 Sequoia Hybrid vehicles over a potential issue with the tow hitch. 

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the tow hitch cover may detach and can become a road hazard, increasing the possibility of a crash. 

The tow hitch cover is attached to the rear bumper.
