Seats And Restraints

Transport Canada recall 2026101 · manufacturer campaign SRC RL9

5 March 2026

Transport Canada lists: Highlander 2021–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the seatback recliners for the second-row seats may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the seatback(s) may not lock in position and could move in a crash.

Why it matters

A seatback that moves could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

To reduce the safety risk, Toyota recommends not using the second-row seats to transport passengers until the recall repairs have been completed. Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the spring in the second-row seatback recliner assemblies.

Structure

Transport Canada recall 2023574 · manufacturer campaign SRC RF7

26 October 2023

Transport Canada lists: Highlander 2020–2023

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front lower bumper cover may not be attached properly. As a result, if there is a minor impact to the front bumper, the lower bumper cover, engine under cover, and the fender liners could separate from the vehicle while driving.

Why it matters

Parts that detach from the vehicle could create a road hazard for others and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the front bumper cover and secure it. If damage is found, the dealer will also replace the upper and/or lower front bumper cover(s).

What is wrong

Under certain conditions, the vehicle stability control (VSC) system may not switch on when the ignition is restarted. This can happen if the driver manually turns off the VSC, depresses the brake pedal, and then turns off and restarts the vehicle while continuously depressing the brake pedal. Canadian regulations require the stability control system to be active each time that you start the vehicle.

Why it matters

A stability control system that is switched off could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to update the skid control ECU software.
