2008 Toyota RAV4 Seats Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1520199
Internal NHTSA #	11156871
Manufacurer	Toyota Motor Corporation
Brand	TOYOTA
Model	RAV4
Model Year	2008
File date	07/12/18
Component	SEATS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The driver's seat back frame wasn't properly closed out which resulted in the degradation of padding and eventual cutting through of the seat cover fabric over the course of time. The frame has a sharp edge that should have been rounded or covered in a manner so as not to cut into the padding. At this point the frame has cut through a portion of the fabric and is cutting into the driver. The primary safety concern is the sharp frame could cause injury to the driver (especially if the vehicle was rear-ended in an off-center, driver side impact) by cutting into the driver's back. Per discussion with their customer hotline today, toyota will not assist in the repair of the seat.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
