丰田汽车正在召回约55万辆汉兰达（Highlander）SUV，原因是其座椅靠背可能无法正常锁定，这增加了受伤风险。
此次召回涉及2021至2024年款的汉兰达及汉兰达混动车型，这些车辆的第二排座椅配备了调节技术。
美国国家公路交通安全管理局（NHTSA）表示，该技术本应让乘客能够调节座椅角度并锁定到位。但在调节座椅靠背时，调节装置上的装配齿可能无法完全啮合到锁定位置。
召回通知称：”如果座椅靠背未锁定到位，在高速碰撞时可能无法对乘客进行有效约束，从而增加受伤风险。”
据NHTSA称，有缺陷的调节技术由丰田纺织印第安纳公司（Toyota Boshoku Indiana）制造。这家位于印第安纳州普林斯顿的制造公司为丰田汉兰达和丰田塞纳（Sienna）车型生产汽车内饰部件。
NHTSA表示，丰田于2023年10月在丰田一家装配厂的检查中发现了第二排座椅靠背的问题。2024年7月，丰田还发现供应商对调节装置进行了其此前不知情的设计更改，这促使其展开进一步调查。
丰田于今年2月决定发起自愿安全召回。根据召回通知，该公司”无法提供实际存在缺陷的车辆百分比估计”。
丰田计划于4月20日向受影响车主发送信件。客户可将车辆送至经销商处，经销商将免费更换有缺陷的调节装置。此次召回编号为26TB06和26TA06。

Toyota recalls 550,000 Highlander SUVs because seat backs may fail to lock
Updated on: March 13, 2026 / 10:03 AM EDT / CBS News
Toyota is recalling roughly 550,000 Highlander SUVs due to a supplier defect that could cause the seat backs to fail to lock properly, increasing the risk of injury.
The recall affects Highlander and Highlander Hybrid vehicles, model years 2021 to 2024, equipped with recliner technology in the second-row seats.
The technology is intended to allow occupants to adjust the angle of the seats and then lock them in place. But the assembly teeth on the recliners may fail to fully engage in a locked position when the seat back is being adjusted, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
“A seat back that has not been secured in a locked position may fail to properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash at higher speeds,” the recall notice said.
The defective recliner technology was made by Toyota Boshoku Indiana, according to NHTSA. The Princeton, Indiana, manufacturing company makes automotive interior components for Toyota Highlander and Toyota Sienna vehicles.
In October 2023, Toyota discovered the issue with second-row seat backs during an inspection at a Toyota assembly plant, NHTSA said. In July 2024, the car maker also discovered that the supplier had made a design change to the recliner that it was not previously aware of, which prompted further investigations.
Toyota decided to issue the voluntary safety recall in February. The company is “unable to provide an estimate of the percentage of vehicles to actually contain the defect,” according to the recall notice.
Toyota is planning to send letters to affected car owners on April 20. Customers can bring their vehicle to a dealer, which will replace the defective technology free of charge. Toyota’s numbers for the recall are 26TB06 and 26TA06.
