Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? This is about a problem with some Toyota Highlander cars. The back frame of the middle seat in the second row has the wrong shape.

What's happening? If only one of the two middle seats is folded down, people in the back could touch the sharp end of the frame and get hurt.

Does this affect me? This problem is in Highlander cars sold in France. If you own one, you might be at risk.

What should I do? Take your car to a Toyota dealer to have the seat frame fixed. Ask your dealer or a mechanic for help.
