Toyota Highlander Recalled to Fix Second-Row Seat Latches
The seatbacks may not latch properly, which could cause injuries in a crash
Toyota is recalling over half a million Highlander and Highlander Hybrid SUVs from the 2021 through 2024 model years because their second-row seatbacks may not latch properly during adjustment. If they’re not latched, passengers may be at a higher risk for injuries, especially in a high-speed crash.
