TORRANCE, Calif. -

Toyota Motor Sales, USA Inc. revealed Wednesday it will conduct a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 342,000 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab vehicles.

The involved vehicles — produced from 2004 to 2011 — contain screws that attach the seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor within the seat belt assembly for the driver and front passenger which can become loose over time due to repeatedly and forcefully closing the access door, the company explained.

Toyota went on to report that “if the screws loosen completely, the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover could detach from the seat belt retractor, which can affect retractor and pre-tensioner performance.”

Owners of vehicles subject to this recall will receive a notification by first class mail, officials said.

Customers can access more information at  www.toyota.com/recall and at the Toyota Customer Experience Center at (800) 331-4331.
