Toyota recalls 340,000 Tacoma pickups amid seat belt concern

LOS ANGELES

The recall affects Tacoma Access Cab vehicles produced from 2004 to 2011.

In the vehicles, screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor for the driver and front passenger can become loose over time. The company says if the screws loosen completely, the belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor. This can affect how the retractor and pre-tensioner perform.

Owners of the vehicles will receive a notification by mail.

Customers can get more information by visiting www.toyota.com/recall or by calling the Toyota Customer Experience Center at (800) 331-4331.
