Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2017 Toyota Tundra vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where one of the rear split bench seat leg brackets may not have been properly tightened to the vehicle's floor pan. This issue could allow the seat to move during a crash, potentially causing the vehicle to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards regarding seating systems, seat belt anchorages, and child restraint anchorage systems.
If the rear split bench seat moves in a crash, the occupant has an increased risk of injury. The recall is expected to begin in March 2018. Dealers will tighten the five seat leg bracket bolts as necessary, free of charge.
