## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2006\-2012 RAV4 vehicles manufactured July 28, 2005, to December 19, 2012, and 2012\-2014 RAV4 EV vehicles manufactured July 24, 2012, to August 29, 2014.  In the event of a frontal collision, the rear seat belts for the outboard seats may be cut by the seat cushion frame.


## What can happen

A cut seat belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing their risk of injury in a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will install a protector over both rear seat cushion frames, free of charge.  The recall began on June 24, 2016.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's number for this recall is G0F.


## 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.
