Launched: 18 May 2016
Issued by: TOYOTA (GB) PLC
Manufacturer reference: CGG30
Vehicles: DVSA lists 3,709 on each model line

What can go wrong

The vehicles are equipped with 3-point lap-shoulder belt assemblies in all-three rear seating positions. The inner belt (buckle portion) of each of the rear three seat belt assemblies is secured to the floor of the vehicle with an anchor plate. The anchor plate might have been manufactured with a sharp edge around the punched portion. In the event of a collision there is a possibility that the inner seat belt webbing could become cut and separate at the anchor plate. If this occurs the inner seat belt may not properly restrain the occupant which could increase the risk to injury.

The fix

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and check the Lot number of the anchor plate. Where necessary the rear inner belt assembly will be replaced with a new one.

Models and build dates

Is a specific car affected? A recall lists models and build dates, not individual vehicles, so these pages cannot tell you whether one car is included. Enter the registration on the DVSA vehicle recall checker on GOV.UK, or give the vehicle identification number (VIN) to the manufacturer or one of its dealers. Buying used? Ask the seller for proof that any recall work was done.
