WASHINGTON - Toyota Motor Co. is recalling 11,592 2005 model-year
Tacoma pickup trucks in the United States due to defective seat belt
buckle sensors. On certain regular cab pickup trucks equipped with a
bench seat, the seat position and seat belt buckle sensor connector
pins are incorrectly positioned due to a wire harness manufacturing
process error, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA).
In this condition, the seat position and seat belt buckle sensor may
not function as designed, affecting the adaptive air bag deployment.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash, this could result in improper
occupant restraint, adds NHTSA.
Dealers will inspect the seat position and seat belt fastening
condition sensor connector. An additional subwire harness will be
installed to correct the connector pin manufacturing error, if
necessary. The recall is expected to begin during late July 2005.
For more information, refer to NHTSA Campaign ID No. 05V302000.
