SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY:RECLINER
A seat back that fails to lock may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
9 safety recall campaigns, 224 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
A seat back that fails to lock may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
A rearview camera that fails to display an image can reduce the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
An instrument panel display that does not show critical information can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
A deactivated driver's air bag will not deploy as intended, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
A vehicle with an incorrect maximum capacity weight value may be overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.
Tires with an insufficient load rating can be overloaded and fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2023 TOYOTA HIGHLANDERs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
