Toyota recalls over 228,000 U.S. vehicles due to unsafe seat backs
Toyota is recalling 228,367 U.S. vehicles after regulators found seat backs could detach in frontal crashes.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced that Toyota will recall 228,367 vehicles, specifically certain 2022-2026 Sienna Hybrid models. In a frontal impact, the seat back may disengage from its locked position, compromising occupant restraint. Dealers will either update the software or replace the seat backs at no cost, depending on the vehicle’s configuration.
Why it matters
A faulty seat-back could fail to protect occupants, so the recall helps prevent possible injuries.
