What's wrong?
The driver's seat belt guide loop on the 2020 Toyota Supra helps route the belt across the driver's shoulder and upper body. Its mount is the metal attachment point that holds that guide loop to the seat structure. During normal use, the guide keeps the belt positioned so it can restrain the driver as designed in a crash.
On affected Supras, the mount was not welded to specification. The supplier used inadequate parts in the welding tool, which left the driver's guide loop mount with fewer proper weld spots than intended. In a crash of sufficient severity, that reduced weld strength can let the mount become damaged, changing how the belt holds the driver.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is hidden in the welded mount, so an owner would not feel it during normal driving or see it during a basic walkaround.

What's the safety risk?

What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Toyota Supra is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Toyota dealer to schedule the free seat-belt-guide-loop mount inspection.
- Ask the dealer how Toyota handles the vehicle replacement if the driver's seat belt guide loop mount is defective.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 19V653 and Toyota recall K0R when you call.
- Use extra caution until the inspection is complete, because a defective mount can keep the driver's seat belt from properly restraining the driver in a crash.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician inspects the driver's seat belt guide loop mount for the improper weld covered by recall 19V653. If the mount is defective, Toyota replaces the vehicle free of charge. The recall inspection and replacement are covered. Out-of-pocket repairs before the recall notice are handled through the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty program, not through a separate reimbursement program. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
