Local Toyota owners might want to check their RAV4s after a recall was annouced by the company about failures on some seats on certain vehicles.

Toyota announced the recall for RAV4s from 2006 through to 2012 models.

Nearly 2.9 million vehicles have been recalled because of this possible defect including over 148,000 RAV4s in Canada.

Toyota says it’s possible the belts in both second-row window seats could come in contact with a metal seat cushion frame in a severe frontal crash.

If that happens, the belts could be cut and would not restrain passengers.
