Toyota announced its recall of 1.12 million vehicles worldwide due to a short-circuit sensor capable of prohibiting air bags from deploying as designed.
The recall will includes several Toyota and Lexus models between the years 2000 and 2002 as listed below:
- Toyota Avalon, Avalon Hybrid (2000-21)
- Toyota Camry, Camry Hybrid (2020-22)
- Toyota Corolla (2020-21)
- Toyota Highlander, Highlander Hybrid (2020-21)
- Toyota RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid (2020-21)
- Toyota Sienna Hybrid (2021)
- Lexus ES250 (2021)
- Lexus ES300H (2020-22)
- Lexus ES350 (2020-21)
- Lexus RX350 (2020-21)
- Lexus RX450h (2020-21)
The subject vehicles have Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensors in the front passenger seat that could have been improperly manufactured, causing a short circuit, Toyota said in a news release. This would not allow the airbag system to properly classify the occupant’s weight, and the airbag may not deploy as designed in certain crashes, increasing the risk of injury.
