Toyota is recalling model year 2007 through 2013 FJ Cruiser passenger vehicles.
The retractors for the front driver and passenger seat belts are mounted in the access door (rear door) panels of the vehicle. Due to insufficient strength of the access door panel, cracks may develop in the panel if the access door is repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time.
If cracks occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor, the seat belt retractor could become detached, which could increase the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
Toyota is currently developing a remedy and has not yet provided a notification schedule.
Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
