Toyota Australia says an issue with the seatbelts in about 98,000 RAV4 vehicles has prompted the company to issue a recall.
Vehicles built between August 2005 and November 2012 could have an issue with both outboard seat belts of the second row seats, Toyota Australia says in a statement on Thursday.
Part of the seat belt could possibly be damaged in a high-speed frontal collision and may not restrain the occupant "which could increase the risk of injury", the company said.
There have been no accidents or injuries in Australia as a result of the issue to date but dealers will "add resin protection covers to the metal seat cushion frames", the statement says.
The repairs will begin in June and are expected to take one hour per vehicle.
The issue has affected 2.87 million vehicles globally.
