Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota vehicles

TORONTO, March 5, 2026 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain model year 2021-2023 Toyota Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. Approximately 39,897 vehicles are involved in this recall in Canada.

The recliner assemblies in the second-row seats may not fully lock after seat back adjustment. A seat back that has not been secured in a locked position may fail to properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash at higher speeds.

Toyota is currently preparing the remedy. When available, Toyota dealers will replace the return springs in the recliner assemblies with improved ones, at no cost.

Owners of involved vehicles will be notified by early May 2026.
