Description:
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2007 through 2013 fj cruiser passenger vehicles. the retractors for the front driver and passenger seat belts are mounted in the access door (rear door) panels of the vehicle. due to insufficient strength of the access door panel, cracks may develop in the panel if the access door is repeatedly and forcefully closed over an extended period of time.
Consequencs:
If cracks occur in the panel around the lower retractor anchor, the seat belt retractor could become detached, which could increase the risk of injury to an occupant in the event of a crash.
Notes:
The safety recall began on june 6, 2013. toyota will mail an interim letter to owners late in april 2013. remedy notifications to the owners for the repair will begin in late may 2013. owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Toyota is recalling certain toyota racing development (trd) brake kits, p/n ptr09-35070, and trd high-performance brake kits, p/n ptr09-35100, installed by toyota vehicle processing centers and sold by toyota dealers as an optional accessory for model year 2007 through 2012 toyota fj cruiser vehicles. the subject trd brake kit is specifically designed for the front wheels of 2007-2012 model year fj cruiser vehicles. due to the shape of the outer brake tube of the brake kit, the clearance between the outer brake tube and a trd 16 inch 6-spoke alloy wheel is minimal. if wheel balance weights are installed in an incorrect location, there is a possibility that the outer brake tube could be damaged due to interference with the balance weight, and brake fluid could leak from the damaged tube.
Consequencs:
If a brake tube becomes damaged and leaks fluid, it may result in increased stopping distances, and in some cases, loss of vehicle front braking performance, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Notes:
All known owners of 2007-2012 model year fj cruiser vehicles will be notified by first class mail. if the vehicle is equipped with one of the trd brake kits, the brake caliper outer brake tube will be replaced with a newly designed one at no charge. during this service, if necessary, the dealer will make wheel balance adjustments. this remedy will be performed even if the vehicle has original equipment 16 inch or 17 inch wheels or trd 16 inch beadlock ring type wheels, which are not affected by the condition, to assure sufficient clearance in the event wheels are changed at a later time. notification to owners began on december 17, 2012. owners may contact toyota customer experience center at 1-800-331-4331.
