SAFETY (NONCOMPLIANCE) RECALL 24TA04 (Interim Notice 24TB04)
Certain 2023 – 2024 Model Year Camry and Camry HV
Rear Seat Head Restraint Performance
On February 21, 2024, Toyota
filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NCIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety (Noncompliance) Recall on certain 2023-2024 model year Camry and Camry HV vehicles.
Condition
The two head restraints on the 60% portion of the rear, fold down seats in the involved vehicles may have poor welds on a bracket that can cause the vehicles not to comply with a federal safety standard. This can affect head restraint performance and increase the risk of injury during certain collisions.
Remedy
Toyota
is currently preparing the parts and repair instructions for the remedy for this condition. When the timing of the remedy availability is known, Toyota
will update this document with the timing. When the remedy is available, Toyota
dealers will replace the 60% Rear Seat Back Sub-Assembly FREE OF CHARGE.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 4,200 vehicles covered by this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall. No vehicles covered by this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota
will notify owners by late April 2024.
Description of Noncompliance:
The second-row seats of the subject vehicles have a 60/40 split, fold down configuration, with the 60% portion having an outboard seat on the vehicle’s passenger side and a center seat, each with a head restraint. Head restraint brackets are welded to the 60% rear seat back frame sub-assembly. Due to a problem in the manufacturing process, there is a possibility that one or more of the individual welds on these head restraint brackets may not have been welded properly and could cause the head restraints not to perform as designed. The rear outboard head restraint may not comply with certain requirements of FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.2.7. An improper weld on the head restraint bracket of the rear center or outboard designated seating positions of the 60% seat back may affect head restraint performance and increase the risk of injury during certain collisions.
Test Results and Other Information:
In early November 2023, during a routine inspection, the supplier identified a cold spot-weld condition on a 60% rear seat back frame sub-assembly. Thereafter, Toyota
inspected rear seat back frame sub-assemblies on vehicles at the production facility and found some with a similar cold weld condition. The cause of the improper welding was identified and corrected in production.
In December 2023, Toyota
began a design review to study the effect of a cold weld at the head restraint bracket location on head restraint performance. It was concluded that the backset retention performance could not be guaranteed.
On February 15, 2024, Toyota
determined that the subject vehicles may not meet the backset retention, displacement, and strength requirements in FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.2.7 and decided to conduct a recall.
Description of Corrective Repair Action:
All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified to return their vehicles to a Toyota
dealer. The dealers will replace the 60% Rear Seat Back Frame Sub-Assembly, free of charge.

through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a
vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety (Noncompliance) Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s
responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle.
Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who
has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing
repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS.
Dealer Inventory Procedures
New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory
There are approximately 60 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of February 19, 2024.
Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale,
or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when
it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal
Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal
law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle
equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the
defect or noncompliance is remedied.
Toyota
reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in
dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota
provides these
flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota
reserves the right to withhold or
charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it
determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being
remedied.
Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to
ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy.
NOTE:
• New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into
commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should
not be made until a vehicle is remedied.
• Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory
Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota
.com/). The
Vehicle Inventory Summary may take up to 4 hours to populate information for newly launched campaigns.

VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Noncompliance : Description of the Noncompliance : The second-row seats of the subject vehicles have a 60/40 split, fold down configuration, with the 60% portion having an outboard seat on the vehicle’s passenger side and a center seat, each with a head restraint. Head restraint brackets are welded to the 60% rear seat back frame sub-assembly. Due to a problem in the manufacturing process, there is a possibility that one or more of the individual welds on these head restraint brackets may not have been welded properly and could cause the head restraints not to perform as designed. The rear outboard head restraint may not comply with certain requirements of FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.2.7. An improper weld on the head restraint bracket of the rear center or outboard designated seating positions of the 60% seat back may affect head restraint performance and increase the risk of injury during certain collisions. FMVSS 1 : 202 – Head restraints FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : The rear outboard head restraint may not comply with certain requirements of FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.2.7.

Country : United States Chronology :
In early November 2023, during a routine inspection, the supplier identified a cold spot-weld condition on a 60% rear seat back frame sub-assembly. Thereafter, Toyota
inspected rear seat back frame sub-assemblies on vehicles at the production facility and found some with a similar cold weld condition. The cause of the improper welding was identified and corrected in production. In December 2023, Toyota
began a design review to study the effect of a cold weld at the head restraint bracket location on head restraint performance. It was concluded that the backset retention performance could not be guaranteed. On February 15, 2024, Toyota
determined that the subject vehicles may not meet the backset retention, displacement, and strength requirements in FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.2.7 and decided to conduct a recall. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-128
