[LTC8K6]

Seat frame possibly cutting the rear seat belts?

Toyota said Thursday it was recalling 2.87 million vehicles globally due to the possibility that their rear seatbelt could come apart in a crash and cause injuries.

The recall involved Toyota's RAV4 sports utility vehicle made between July 2005 and August 2014 and between October 2005 and January 2016.

The announcement also involves its Vanguard SUV produced between October 2005 and January 2016. The Vanguard is only sold in Japan.

Toyota said it would add resin covers to the vehicles' metal seat cushion frames to prevent the seatbelt from being cut in a crash.

It's kinda surprising this didn't occur during crash testing.
