The problem: The upper child-seat anchors in some 2022-2023 Toyota Tacomas may not have been welded sufficiently and may not meet minimum strength requirements. An insufficient weld may allow the child seat to move forward during a sudden stop or crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: The remedy is still being developed. Once one is found, Toyota will notify owners about bringing their trucks to a local dealership for a repair at no cost.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may call Toyota’s customer service at 800-331-4331.
NHTSA campaign number: 22V520000. Toyota’s number for this recall is 22TB09/ 22TA09.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have one. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly.
