Recall

[ian rooke]

Hi according to Toyota my 2016 Prius is due for a recall does anyone know what it is for so I can know if it is safe to use the car, the recall site tells you only that it has a recall not what it is for .

It's for the driver's seat belt warning switch, they put a new stalk (the bit that the seat belt buckle goes into) in mine when they did the service last month. It's not an urgent fix, I suppose at worst you won't get a warning light if your seat belt isn't fastened or the light may be on when it is.

Comes up fine if you do a search without reg, click on the item and it gives the full info

Not sure if this link works

Thanks Flash22 and Kithmo looks like the worst you will get is a buzzer going off so safe to drive
