2017 TOYOTA TUNDRA

  • Brand TOYOTA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2017 Toyota Tundra vehicles because the rear split bench seat leg bracket bolts may not have been properly tightened to the vehicle's floor pan. This can allow the seat to move during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants and potentially causing the vehicle to fail to meet federal safety standards for seating systems, seat belt anchorages, and child restraint anchorages.

To address this issue, Toyota will notify owners and dealers will tighten the five seat leg bracket bolts as needed at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 to arrange service. The recall is expected to begin in March 2018, and Toyota's reference number for this recall is J0I.
