TOYOTA ANNOUNCES VOLUNTARY RECALL OF CERTAIN TACOMA VEHICLES

TORONTO, ON., August 7, 2013 – Toyota Canada Inc., announced that it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 26,830 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab vehicles, produced from 2004 to 2011.

 

In the involved vehicles, screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor within the seat belt assembly for the driver and front passenger can become loose over time due to repeatedly and forcefully closing of the access door. If the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor, which can affect retractor and pre-tensioner performance.

 

Owners of vehicles subject to this recall will receive a notification by mail.

 

Information is available to customers at www.toyota.ca/recall and at the Toyota Customer Interaction Centre at 1-888-TOYOTA-8.
