2021 Toyota Kluger recalled

The 2021 Toyota Kluger has been recalled, with the fourth-generation SUV's front seats not meeting Australian Design Rule (ADR) requirements.

Affecting a total of 5417 Toyota Klugers sold since the new model debuted last year, an apparent manufacturing issue means the front seat-back frames were not manufactured with the minimum radius criteria to meet the requirements of the Australian Design Rule (ADR 3/03).

While this could present itself as a safety risk to occupants in the event of an accident, the more immediate issue is that none of Toyota's 2021 Klugers are compliant with the ADR.
