The Saudi Ministry of Commerce has officially announced a recall for Toyota Highlander models manufactured between 2021 and 2025. This safety measure impacts 23,619 vehicles across the Kingdom, stemming from a identified defect in the second-row seat-locking mechanism. Officials have warned that this mechanical failure could prevent passengers from being properly secured, significantly heightening the risk of injury if an accident were to occur.

To ensure safety, owners of affected Toyota Highlanders are being urged to verify if their specific vehicle is included in the recall by checking their chassis number (VIN) on the official Recalls.sa website. Those identified in the recall process should reach out to the local distributor, Abdul Latif Jameel Company, to arrange for the necessary safety inspections and repairs, which will be provided to all owners completely free of charge.
