Recall Alert: 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4, 2012-2014 RAV4 EV
CARS.COM
Vehicles Affected: About 1.1 million model-year 2006-12 RAV4 compact SUVs and model-year 2012-14 RAV4 EV battery-powered versions of the SUV
The Problem: The affected vehicles have a potential defect involving the lap-shoulder seat belts in the second-row outboard seats. In a severe front crash, the metal seat-cushion frame could cut and separate the lap-belt webbing. The belt may not restrain the passenger, increasing the risk of injury.
The Fix: Toyota dealers will put resin covers on the metal seat-cushion frame for free.
