Toyota Australia has been forced to recall 1044 Camry sedans over potentially faulty seatbelts.

Affecting MY19 examples sold between September 11 and December 11 this year, a manufacturing defect possibly causes one of the lock mechanisms in the seatbelts from locking as designed.

In the event of an accident, if the seatbelts don’t function properly, occupants might not be correctly restrained, therefore increasing the risk of injury and/or death.

The same potential issue also involves 14 Coaster minibuses of MY19 and MY20 varieties.

Impacted owners will be contacted in writing by Toyota Australia with instructions to make an appointment at their preferred dealership for free-of-charge repairs.

Those looking for extra information can contact the Toyota Recall Assist Helpline on 1800 987 366 during business hours. Alternatively, they can directly contact their preferred dealership.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum. That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time. And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all. In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
