Filing in context
The Seat belt is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 26 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 15 Toyota notifications from 2009 in this archive. For scale, 94 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 years and 3 months.
Defect
A supplemental sound-insulating material was installed near the front seat belt retractor assembly—which incorporates a belt tensioner at the base of the center pillar that instantly retracts seat belt slack during a collision. When the belt tensioner deploys, the high-temperature gas it generates may melt and damage the supplemental material. In the worst case, this may result in a vehicle fire.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, remove the supplemental sound-insulating material.
