| HIGHLANDER RECALLS | Top |
| 2008 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Manufactured between: 05/31/2007 and 03/07/2008 Defect: toyota is recalling 90,189 my 2008 highlander and highlander hybrid passenger vehicles equipped with a third row seat. these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the non-driver designated seating positions (dsp) on these vehicles is equipped with seat belt assemblies that have a feature that converts the retractor from an emergency locking retractor (elr) to an automatic locking retractor (alr). the belts convert to the alr mode after the webbing has been fully withdrawn from the retractor. the system is designed so that as the belt is released into the retractor, the system remains in the alr mode so that a child restraint system (crs) can be tightly secured. Consequence: however, for the two third row dsp's on these vehicles, the alr mode deactivates before the webbing is fully retracted, so that it will not lock when certain rear-facing crs's that have a short seat belt routing path are installed in the vehicle. this can allow the seat belt webbing to spool out during normal driving maneuvers, which could affect the stability of a child restraint installed at those seating positions. as such, this could discourage the use of a child restraint and in the event of a crash, the child may not be adequately protected possibly resulting in injury. Action: dealers will install a newly designed seat belt component free of charge. the manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

| 2004 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER Manufactured between: 11/17/2000 and 01/29/2004 Defect: certain sport utility vehicles have a child protection lock (cpl) system on both of the rear side doors. when an operator of the vehicle closes the door very hard with the cpl lever set to the lock position, there is a possibility that the lever may contact the body panel, causing the cpl lever to move into the unlock position. Consequence: this condition could allow the door to be opened with the inside while the operator believes that the cpl was activated. if the door were opened from the inside while the vehicle was in motion, an occupant could fall out and be injured. Action: dealers will shorten the cpl lever. owner notification began may 7, 2004. owners should contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Recall Date: 04/15/2004 | |

Consequence: this standard establishes requirements for child restraint anchorage systems to ensure their proper location and strength for the effective securing of child restraints, to reduce the likelihood of the anchorage systems' failure, and to increase the likelihood that child restraints are properly secured and thus more fully achieve their potential effectiveness in motor vehicles. Action: dealers will remove the manual air bag on-off switch, replace the owner's manual, and affix a new sun visor air bag warning label. the recall began in early january 2007. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
