Overview
| MLIT filing number | 1153042 |
|---|---|
| Type | Statutory Recall (government-mandated recall) |
| Date filed | April 6, 2023 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Seat Belt |
| Production period | June 15, 2022 — March 2023 |
| Vehicles affected | 32,000 units |
Defect
The retention structure of the rear left seat belt buckle is improperly designed, allowing the buckle to fall into the seat interior and preventing seat reclining. If the recliner is operated in that condition, the buckle is damaged and the seat belt can no longer lock correctly. In the worst case, the belt may release during vehicle operation.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, confirm the chassis number. On applicable vehicles, inspect the retention band at the buckle mounting point and, where required, replace the band with a corrected part and replace the buckle with a new unit.
