What Happened
The second row seat in your Highlander has a part that connects it to the floor. In some 2014 models, this part didn't attach properly, which could cause the seat to shift while driving.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the seat could move around in the event of a crash, putting the person sitting there at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will check the seat and replace it if needed, all for free. You'll get a notice in the mail with instructions on when to schedule the repair.

Original — What Happened
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2014 Highlander vehicles manufactured April 23, 2014, through April 29, 2014. The affected vehicles may have a second row right-hand seat assembly that does not fully lock into the inboard seat track in the forward first, second and third adjusting positions. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 207, "Seating Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the seat does not fully lock into the inboard seat track, the seat could move, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
Original — Remedy
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the second row right-hand seat, free of charge. The recall began in July 2014. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
