- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 13V337000
- Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing
- Reported: 2013\-08\-07

## What is wrong

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2005\-2010 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured September 14, 2004, through March 29, 2010; and model year 2011 Tacoma Access Cab vehicles manufactured July 1, 2010, through September 7, 2011. If the access doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed, the screws that attach the seat belt pre\-tensioner to the seat belt retractor can loosen over time. If the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre\-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor.


## What can happen

If the seat belt pre\-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre\-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt assemblies.  Based on the inspection, the seat belt assembly will be replaced or new pre\-tensioner screws will be installed with thread\-locking sealant and a retractor spring cover with stopper ribs to prevent loosening of the screws.  These services will be provided at no cost to the owner. The recall began during February 2014.  Owners may contact Toyota at 1\-800\-331\-4331.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
