“Toyota is not aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities caused by this condition,” the automaker said.
Dealers will replace the center pillar garnishes if required.
Toyota spokesman John Hanson told the Detroit News the problem was discovered after a February test for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s new car assessment programme. Toyota then investigated the issue to determine the problem.
