Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain Tokai Rika Co., LTD front-seat outer right-side and left-side seat belt assemblies sold as replacement parts. The affected part numbers are 73210-24171, 73210-48130, 73220-24131, 73220-33331, 73220-42221, 73220-47051, 73220-48040, 73220-48052, and 73220-48110.

The defect involves the seat belt assembly force-limiter, which may not operate correctly. This can allow the seat belt to extend further than intended after locking. A seat belt assembly that extends further than intended may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Dealers will inspect the front seat belt assembly and replace the assembly, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 9, 2024.
