Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-20. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Seat belts
What's wrong, in plain English: Seat belts may not hold you in a crash. THE WRONG SAFETY BELT LATCH TONGUE PLATE WAS INSTALLED IN SOME SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES.
What could happen: THE SAFETY BELT WILL NOT LATCH CORRECTLY, CAUSING THERESTRAINT SYSTEM TO FAIL; THE OCCUPANT WILL BE EXPOSED TO INCREASED RISK OFINJURY IN A SUDDEN STOP OR CRASH IF FAILURE OCCURS.
The fix: REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE SAFETY BELT ASSEMBLIES.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 1993 TOYOTA TRUCK.
- Book a repair at any authorized Toyota dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 92V145000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
