Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling 39 of its 2024-2025 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. The third-row center seat belt roof anchor may have been installed at the wrong angle, which can prevent the seat belt from properly restraining a passenger in the event of a crash. To fix this, Toyota dealers will reinstall the seat belt anchor using a new bolt for free.

Risk

If the seat belt anchor is not installed at the correct angle, the seat belt cannot properly hold a passenger in place. This failure to restrain an occupant significantly increases the risk of injury during a vehicle collision.
