What is being recalled
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles. The second-row seat backs may fail to lock into position during seat back adjustment.
Why it is dangerous
A seat back that fails to lock may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will replace the return springs in the seat back recliner assemblies, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed September 9, 2026. This is a phased recall. Owners may contact Toyotaâs customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 26TB06 and 26TA06.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 26V-128 when calling a dealer.
