What's wrong, in plain English
Some Toyota Tacoma trucks have upper child seat anchors where one or more of the welds may not be strong enough. These anchors are used to secure a child seat to the vehicle. If the welds are insufficient, the child seat anchor may not hold as it should, which could let the child seat shift or move during a sudden stop or a crash.
What you should do
2. Contact a Toyota dealer, or call Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
3. The repair (inspecting and rewelding the anchors as necessary) is free.
