SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:ANCHORAGE

Manufacturer

What Happened
The seat belt in your Highlander's third row is connected to a metal anchor on the roof. In some 2024-2025 models, this anchor might be installed at an incorrect angle.
Risk if Unfixed

Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will reattach the seat belt anchor with a new bolt to ensure it's installed correctly – and it won't cost you anything. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible, especially if you have passengers who ride in the third row.
