Toyota recalls more than 228,000 vehicles over seat back safety concerns — Northbrook Technology news

Toyota is recalling more than 228,000 vehicles due to a potential issue with the second-row seat backs, which may fail to stay secured in the event of a crash. The recall impacts certain 2022 through 2026 Toyota Sienna Hybrid vehicles. According to a recall notice posted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the second-row seat backs could disengage from its locked position in a crash, failing ​to properly ​restrain ⁠passengers and increasing the risk of injury. Dealers will update the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit (ECU) software. For vehicles equipped with the Mobility as a Service (MaaS) package, dealers will replace the two second-row seat backs free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Dec. 7.
