Chronology :
In mid-April 2024, during a routine audit inspection, a head restraint in the driver’s seat of a vehicle was found to be removable without the press of the lock release button. At Toyota’s request, the Tier 1 supplier of the head restraint assembly tested parts and found that all parts tested met the inspection criteria. Toyota’s Tier 2 and 3 supplier inspected the head restraint stay from the audit and found that the radius of one of the stay notches was larger than the design requirement.
In May 2024, it was determined that a damaged tool that was used during the manufacture of two head restraint stay lots. Toyota began a design review to study the effect of a larger than designed head restraint stay notch on head restraint performance. It was concluded that the removability performance of the head restraints by only pressing the lock release button could not be guaranteed.
On June 21, 2024, Toyota determined that the subject vehicles may not meet the head restraint removability requirements in FMVSS 202a, paragraph S4.5.
