SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER:WEBBING
- The defect
- Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2025 Toyota Camry Hybrid, Lexus NX250, NX350, NX350 Hybrid, 2024-2025 Lexus RX350, RX350 Hybrid, and RX500 Hybrid vehicles. The second-row center seat belt webbing may be damaged. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies."
- What it can cause
- A damaged seat belt may not adequately restrain an occupant, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the seat belt webbing and replace the seat belt assembly if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 20, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 25TA03 and 25LA03.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 40,922 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2024 to 2025, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Toyota vehicles have been recalled over the seat belts 14 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V889000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 4 of the 7 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 243 complaints with NHTSA, 30 of them before this campaign was filed. 6 of those name the seat belts, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2023, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V511000 (exterior lighting), 26V179000 (equipment), 26V162000 (back over prevention), 25V869000 (hybrid propulsion system).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing with NHTSA on February 6, 2025 as campaign 25V059000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
