Toyota
makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters.

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.
Pre-Owned Vehicles in Dealer Inventory
To ensure customer satisfaction, Toyota
requests that dealers complete this Safety Recall on any used vehicles currently in dealer inventory that are covered by this Safety Recall prior to customer delivery. However, if the campaign cannot be completed (for example, due to remedy parts availability), delivery of a covered vehicle is acceptable if disclosed to the customer that the vehicle is involved in a Safety Recall.

According to BMW and Autoliv (the part supplier), the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR) function in the passenger seat belt in the subject vehicles may prematurely cease activation when attempting to install and secure a Child Restraint System (CRS) by a vehicle user. In this condition, the passenger side seat belt may not meet certain U.S. safety requirements. Q1a: What is the Automatic Locking Retractor (ALR)? A1a: The purpose of the ALR is to tightly secure a Child Restraint System (CRS), for example a child car seat, to the passenger seat by preventing webbing extraction by a child or as a result of child safety seat movement or vibration during driving. Q1b: Can I use ALR to secure a child seat or child restraint system before the remedy is performed? A1b: Until the remedy is performed, Toyota recommends that child seats or child restraint systems should not be installed into the passenger seat of the vehicle. Q2: Are there any warnings that this condition exists? A2: According to BMW, when attempting to utilize the safety belt retractorโs ALR function to secure a CRS, the user may notice that the audible clicking sound that is present when the ALR function is activated stops well before the safety belt webbing is fully retracted back into the retractor. Q3: What is Toyota going to do? A3: Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail starting in mid-September 2021, advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the passenger seat belt assembly inspected, and, if necessary, replaced FREE OF CHARGE. Q4: Which and how many vehicles are covered by this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall? A4: There are approximately 1,580 vehicles covered by this Safety (Noncompliance) Recall.
