- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 14V148000

## What is wrong

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2013 Highlander vehicles manufactured March 13, 2013, through August 6, 2013.  In the affected vehicles, the second row left hand seat may not lock in place when positioned in the forward front or second adjusting position.  As such, the vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 207, "Seating Systems."


## What can happen

If the seat does not lock into the seat track, there may be an increased risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will modify the second row left hand seat so that it will lock into the seat track, free of charge. The recall began on May 21, 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.
