2025 Toyota RAV4 Recalled for Improperly Welded Seat Brackets

Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling approximately 4 units of the 2025 Toyota RAV4 because the front seat rail brackets may have been welded improperly. These faulty welds can cause the seat to fail during a collision, preventing it from properly restraining the driver or passenger. Owners will be notified by mail starting around June 7, 2026, and can have their vehicle inspected and repaired by a dealer at no cost.

Risk

If the seat brackets are not welded correctly, the seat may not remain secure during a crash, which significantly increases the risk of occupant injury because the seat cannot adequately restrain the person.

What You Should Do

  1. Check if your vehicle is a 2025 Toyota RAV4. You can verify if your specific vehicle is affected by entering your VIN on the NHTSA website or by contacting Toyota customer service.
  2. Contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 and mention recall numbers 26TB09 or 26TA09 to schedule a free inspection.
  3. Take your vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealer, where they will inspect the seat bracket welds and perform any necessary repairs free of charge.
