Filing in context
The Seat Belt is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 55 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 10 Toyota notifications from 2002 in this archive. For scale, 702 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 2 months.
Issue
In the front seat belt pretensioner — the device that instantly retracts the belt to restrain occupants during a collision — the thread machining process on the metal canister is improper on some units. When the pretensioner deploys, the resulting pressure may cause the canister cap to break through the interior trim and be ejected. In the worst case, the ejected cap may strike an occupant.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the seat belt serial number and, where applicable, install a reinforcement bracket.
