NHTSA recall 18V123000

What's wrong: One of the rear split bench seat leg brackets may not have been properly tightened to the vehicle's floor pan, possibly allowing the seat to move in a crash. A vehicle with an improperly tightened seat leg bracket could fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 207, "seating systems," 210, "seat belt assembly anchorages," and 225, "child restraint anchorage systems."

Why it matters: If the rear split bench seat moves in a crash, the seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.

The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will tighten the five seat leg bracket bolts, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 2018.
