2025 Front Lower Valance or Air Dam Fell Off

[DSGTSD]

Anyone else have a problem with the 2025 front lower valance or air dam disconnecting. We did not hit anything, randomly started making noise while driving freeway speeds, we then pulled over and found it like this on both sides.

Someone else posted the same yesterday I believe but can’t recall which thread

Thank you. It will likely be a recall item eventually but I imagine the dealer will deny everything and say it’s our fault.

It's just your Runner telling you it hates it and wants to be like all the other cool kids with it totally removed..

lol i agree, but with only 200 miles what else is going to fail

Fair, I wouldn't know as mine made it about 15 miles before I took it off, smooth sailing into 3500 at the moment.

I noticed mine had 2 missing bolts on the driver side yesterday. Put 2 sheet metal screws in for our road trip this weekend.

I know just remove it

I pulled mine off as soon as I got home from picking the vehicle up. Hangs way too low and looks goofy IMO.

Best of luck getting things repaired OP

I’m leaving mine on just to piss everyone off. Mounting license plate to it.

It appears that two screws on both sides were either not installed or vibrated loose and completely backed out. I agree it looks lame, I just wish it didn’t fail on its own because it scratched the bumper on both sides.

Same thing happened to mine within days of bringing home. 3 screws fell out.
someone is driving around with my screws in their tires.

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully Toyota can make some changes.

Thanks for the reply. I’m going to the dealer tomorrow. Hopefully they’ll send it up the chain.
