Troubles with the seatbelts on the 2007-2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser have led the automaker to recall 16,000 units in Canada.
On certain vehicles, due to insufficient strength of the rear door panels, cracks may develop if the doors are repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time. Since the driver and front passenger seat belt retractors are mounted in the door panels, if cracks occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor, the seat belt retractors could become detached, increasing the risk of injury.
A solution has yet to be determined. You'll be among the first to know when Toyota has found one.
