What owners wrote
Toyota is risking lives with the fj cruiser - owners are currently driving with a risk of non-functional seat belts. After receiving a recall notice in the mail on monday, 5/20, I checked the toyota website and found the following information on the logged-in owner site: this is an important safety recall. Please contact your authorized toyota dealer and schedule an appointment to perform an inspection and install reinforcement brackets on both doors access at no charge to you.
Driver seat belt wont retract. Defect on recall and reportedly repaired on 08-15-13 at carson city scion, nevada. The defect remains as seat belt will not retract. I purchased vehicle used in july, 2016; seat belt retracted then but was very loose requiring adjustment constantly. I contacted toyota of salinas on 2/28/17 and spoke with service manager don correll. Correll informed me his company would not repair the defect as toyota in carson city already did.
