PLANO, Texas (Feb. 6, 2025) — Toyota is conducting a noncompliance safety recall involving certain 25MY Toyota Camry and Lexus NX, and certain 24-25MY Lexus RX vehicles in North America. Approximately 41,000 vehicles are involved in the recall for the U.S.

The second-row center seatbelt of the subject vehicles may have been damaged during manufacturing. This may cause the seatbelt to not meet certain strength requirements. If an occupant is belted in the second-row center seat with a damaged seatbelt, it may increase the risk of injury during certain crashes.

Toyota and Lexus dealers will inspect the second-row center seatbelt webbing and if necessary, replace the seatbelt assembly, free of charge.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota will notify customers by early April 2025.

Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is current as of today’s filing date and is subject to change thereafter.
