Official NHTSA campaign record

Why the reported issue matters

A head restraint that is inadvertently removed and not reinstalled can increase the risk of injury during a rear-end crash.

Official NHTSA campaign record

Prepare your observation

Use vehicle documents and existing service records. Leave airbag, belt and seat disassembly or deployment testing to the service provider.

A reported defect describes the campaign. It does not establish what caused a symptom on your individual vehicle, and absence of a symptom does not establish that an open recall is complete.

The reported manufacturer remedy

Dealers will replace the driver and front passenger seat head rest assemblies, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed February 14, 2025. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24LB06 and 24LA06.

This describes the dated source record. Current arrangements for your VIN remain unconfirmed.

This campaign is open

Confirm current interim instructions, remedy availability and service arrangements. Keep the dated answer.

Review earlier repair records and lookup limits if needed. A zero-open result does not explain an unresolved symptom.

Work order records recall work

Keep the campaign number, remedy and date together. Ask separately about a symptom that remains after the visit.

Your campaign-specific service questions

Use these questions with the official report. Keep the answers beside the remedy record; “discussed” records a conversation, not a completed repair.

  1. Does the manufacturer confirm that campaign 24V482000 applies to this VIN, including the report’s equipment and production restrictions?

    A matching model and year is only a starting point. The official lookup or manufacturer must establish the individual vehicle’s status.

  2. What remedy, required parts or software, and appointment arrangements are currently available for this VIN, and which interim instructions apply?

    The source does not explicitly establish current remedy availability. Ask the manufacturer about the applicable remedy, required parts or software, appointment arrangements and any interim instructions.

  3. Which seating position or restraint component is included, and does the manufacturer give any interim occupancy instruction for this VIN?

    Compare the answer with the reported component: SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT.

  4. Which items in the reported replacement remedy for 24V482000 were replaced, and are they identified on the work order?

    Keep the replaced items and the campaign number together so that a later visit can distinguish recall work from other repairs.

  5. What dated document records the remedy performed under 24V482000, and what should I do if the reported concern remains?

    Keep campaign completion and unresolved symptoms as separate questions. A saved worksheet or booked appointment does not establish a repair.
