Concern

2nd Seat Spring Replacement on Highlander

Defect, as DVSA words it

For certain vehicles equipped with second row seats that use recliner assemblies to unlock the seatbacks allow for seatback angle adjustment and locking due to a design change made by the supplier the recliner teeth may not fully engage during seatback adjustment. This could lead to the seatback not remaining in a locked position increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash at higher speeds.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Replace the return springs in the recliner assembly with improved ones.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Toyota Highlander, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
