Toyota Recalls Over 550,000 Vehicles in the U.S. Due to Seat Lock Defect

Toyota Motor has announced a recall of 550,007 vehicles in the United States after discovering a potential issue with the seat back mechanism. According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the defect could prevent the seat from locking properly.

The safety regulator warned that a faulty seat back mechanism may fail to remain securely locked, which could increase the risk of injury to passengers in the event of a crash or sudden movement.

The recall is part of Toyota’s effort to address potential safety concerns and ensure that affected vehicles meet required safety standards.
