As a result, the seatback(s) may not lock in position and could move in a crash. rnrnSafety Risk: rnA seatback that moves could increase the risk of injury in a crash. rnrnCorrective Action: rnTo reduce the safety risk, Toyota recommends not using the second-row seats to transport passengers until the recall repairs have been completed. Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the spring in the second-row seatback recliner assemblies.
