What this recall covers
- The defect
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2014 Highlander vehicles manufactured November 20, 2013, through January 18, 2014.

- The risk
- A seat belt that is not properly secured to its anchorage could increase the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
- The fix
