Tokai Rika Co. Ltd Front Seat Belt Assembly: Seat Belts recall
NHTSA campaign 23E007000 · 106 units potentially affected · filed Feb 6, 2023
What's wrong
Tokai Rika Co LTD (Tokai Rika) is recalling certain front-seat outer right-side seat belt assemblies. Please see the recall report for a complete list of affected part numbers. The seat belt assembly force-limiter may not operate correctly, allowing the seat belt to extend further than intended after locking.
Why it matters
A seat belt assembly that extends further than intended may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix
Vehicle manufacturers will inspect, and if necessary, replace the seat belt assembly, free of charge. Vehicle manufacturer was notified February 6, 2023. Toyota owners should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Subaru owners should contact Subaru customer service at 1-844-373-6614.
