Toyota Motors has issued a voluntary safety recall of 342,000 Tacoma midsize pickup trucks to fix a possible seat belt problem.

Toyota Motors, Japan's largest automobile company, has issued a voluntary safety recall Wednesday, for 342,000 midsize pickup trucks. The company said that the recall follows a possible fault with the seat belt functioning of  all trucks of model year 2004 till 2011.

 The recall does not affect the Standard Cab or Crew Cab models of these years but only the Access Cab pickups.

The Japan-based automobile has identified a problem with the "screws that attach seat belt pre-tensioner to the seat belt retractor within the seat belt assembly for the driver and the front passenger," according to a press release. Toyota found that repeated and forceful closing of the access door loosens the screws, which results in the seat belt pre-tensioner and the retractor spring cover detaching from the seat belt retractor. This affects the performance of the seat belt.

No accidents or injuries have been reported so far but Toyota  has issued the recall  as a precautionary measure and will fix the problem free of charge to avoid future mishaps.

Earlier in April, major automakers issued a recall of 3.4 million vehicles due to dysfunctional airbags. The companies that were forced to recall included Honda, Nissan, Toyota and Mazda . The affected Toyota models were Corolla, Tundra, Yaris and Camry.

Owners of the affected vehicles will receive a notification by first class mail. Customers can also call (800) 331-4331 to verify their model year for a checkup.
