The seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in an accident.  In March of this year, Toyota announced a similar recall involving certain <a href=\"http:\/\/www.calemonlaw.com\/blog\/?p=4567\">2007-2013 FJ Cruiser vehicles<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>Toyota will notify owner and dealers will inspect and replace the pre-tensioner screws with thread locking sealant and a retractor spring cover to prevent any loosening.
