Toyota is recalling 550,007 vehicles in the U.S. after the NHTSA flagged a faulty seat-back mechanism that may fail to lock and increase the risk of injury. The large-scale recall is a reputational and operational headwind that could generate repair costs, potential fines or liability exposure; Toyota has not provided an estimated financial impact. Monitor for any follow-on enforcement, litigation, or share-price reaction in the near term.
