The short version

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the seats. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the springs used for the seat rails on the driver's seat and the seat rails of the front passenger seat of three-door models may break.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the spring breaks, the seat may not lock in position. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat could move increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

WHAT TO DO

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat rail, and replace it with a new one, if necessary, free of charge.
