Toyota post fire risk on 2013 and 21014 models including Tacoma's

Toyota has told North American dealers to stop selling six popular models with heated seats because the fabric doesn't meet flammability standards.
One soft material beneath the seat covers does not comply with U.S. safety standards, company spokesman John Hanson said.
No fires or injuries have been reported, but Toyota can't legally sell cars that don't comply with U.S. safety codes, Hanson said. The company is still totaling how many vehicles are affected, but it will be in the thousands, according to the spokesman.
The stop-sale order could mean trouble for Toyota and its dealers because it covers the company's top-selling vehicles. Dealers can no longer sell certain Camry, Avalon, Sienna and Tacoma models from the 2013 and 2014 model years, as well as Corollas and Tundras from 2014. The Camry, for instance, is the top-selling car in the U.S. with more than 408,000 sales last year.

No way

 

It posted yesterday on Fox News. Of course everyone comes and ask if my truck was in the loop. All I said was My Sport does not have heated seats.

 

And I thought the other five threads on this were a hoax.

 

when my butt gets cold I just fart. But i guess that's a fire hazard too.

 

If I had seen the others I would not have posted, and YES Blackhawke88 your butt is a fire hazzard

 

Regulations are so tight now days. It's a just in case thing. I would love to see a seat ingite from the warmer; because it probably wouldn't ever happen, even in the middle of summer with the warmers on for 8 hours.

 

Enough with the sensationalist headlines. Is this cnn now? Your truck isn't going to burst into flames. How many of these threads do we need?
