NHTSA recall 14V148000
Seats · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the second row left hand seat may not lock in place when positioned in the forward front or second adjusting position. As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems."
Why it matters: If the seat does not lock into the seat track, there may be an increased risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will modify the second row left hand seat so that it will lock into the seat track, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 2014.
