The Problem: In the affected vehicles, the driver’s seat rail, as well as the front passenger seat rail on three-door models, may not lock properly as a result of broken or worn springs. If a crash were to take place in a vehicle with seats that did not lock into place properly, it would increase the risk of injury to the driver or passenger. The issue is most likely to affect vehicles in which the seat is frequently adjusted. There are no known reports of accident or injury as a result of this issue.
The Fix: Toyota will notify owners and instruct dealers to replace the seat track assembly for free, once the remedy becomes available.
Number of Vehicles Potentially Affected: 472,500 vehicles in total in the U.S. Approximately 158,000 Yaris hatchacks, 250,500 Yaris sedans, and 64,000 Scion xD vehicles. Globally, Reuters says 2.32 million vehicles are affected by this problem.
