Note:
(1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S.
(2) Only vehicles equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function in the above production range that were manufactured at certain plant locations are involved in this recall. Certain vehicles manufactured at other plants are equipped with seat frames of the same design; however, no interference has been found with current production parts that were inspected at those locations.
Total Number of Vehicles Involved:
Toyota RAV4 | : 1,006 |
Toyota RAV4 Hybrid | : 1,031 |
Toyota RAV4 Prime | : 1,496 |
Total | : 3,533 |
Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance:
Based on inspections of a sample of vehicles in its inventory, Toyota estimates approximately 70% of the involved vehicles equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function described in Section 5 may have interference of seat components near the OCS sensor. Whether the noncompliance is present on each potentially affected vehicle depends on the amount of interference between the seat frame and stopper and the position of the passenger seat at the time the OCS was initially calibrated.
Description of Noncompliance:
The subject vehicles are equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function that contains an Occupant Classification System (OCS) which provides input to the Supplemental Restraint System to determine the deployment strategy of the front passenger airbag, depending on the occupant load. There is a possibility that a stopper and the seat frame near the OCS sensor were assembled with variations that created interference between these parts, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load. As such, the subject vehicles may not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b)(2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2. If the OCS does not detect the occupant load correctly, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in the front passenger seat.
Test Results and Other Information:
In mid-March 2022, during a final inspection process at a vehicle assembly plant in Japan, a Toyota team member found one vehicle with an output value of an OCS that was out of specification. Upon inspecting the seat assembly of this vehicle, it was found that a stopper near the OCS sensor was interfering with the seat frame.
An investigation began which involved inspection of other vehicles at various assembly plants. Interference was found in some vehicles equipped with an 8-way power seat with a seat lifter function. Based on the results of these investigations, Toyota determined that assembly variation created interference of these parts in certain vehicles, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load.
Based on this analysis, on July 15, 2022, it was determined that it is possible that an inaccurate reading from an OCS sensor could cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy as designed in the event of a crash. As such, the involved vehicles may not meet some portions of the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b)(2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2.
Description of Corrective Repair Action:
All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. The dealers will inspect to determine whether there is interference between the seat frame and stopper. If interference is found, the stopper will be adjusted and the occupant classification system will be re-calibrated.
Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies
As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty.
Recall Schedule:
Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will begin by September 19, 2022. A copy of the draft owner notification letter(s) will be submitted as soon as available.
Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule:
Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on July 21, 2022. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued.

Toyota makes significant effort to obtain current customer name and address information from each state through industry resources when mailing owner letters. In the event your dealership receives a notice for a vehicle that was sold prior to the Safety (Noncompliance) Recall announcement, it is the dealership’s responsibility to forward the owner letter to the customer who purchased the vehicle. Please note that only owners of the covered vehicles will be notified. If you are contacted by an owner who has not yet received a notification, please verify eligibility by confirming through TIS prior to performing repairs. Dealers should perform the repair as outlined in the Technical Instructions found on TIS. Dealer Inventory Procedures New Vehicles in Dealership Inventory There are approximately 30 vehicles in new dealer inventory as of July 19, 2022. Under Title 49, Section 30112 of the United States Code, a dealer cannot sell, offer for sale, or introduce or deliver for introduction in interstate commerce a new motor vehicle when it is aware that the vehicle does not comply with an applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard or contains a defect related to motor vehicle safety. Further, 49 Code of Federal Regulations §577.13 requires us to provide the following advisory: It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. Toyota reimburses dealers for flooring costs associated with new vehicles held in dealership inventory until the recall remedy becomes available. Toyota provides these flooring reimbursements at 60-day intervals. Toyota reserves the right to withhold or charge-back any flooring reimbursement funds that may have been paid to the dealer if it determines that a new vehicle subject to a safety recall was sold without first being remedied. Vehicle Safety Recall completion should always be verified through TIS. We request your assistance to ensure involved vehicles are identified and not delivered prior to performing the remedy. NOTE: • New vehicles in dealer inventory subject to a Safety Recall must be remedied before delivery into commerce under a sale or lease. Dealer-to-dealer trades as well as vehicle sales between dealers should not be made until a vehicle is remedied. • Dealers can identify if any of their new and used inventory has any open campaigns in the Vehicle Inventory Summary available in Dealer Daily (Non SET and GST dealers: https://dealerdaily.toyota.com/).

Identification of Involved Vehicles: Based on production records, we have determined the involved vehicle population to be the vehicles listed in the table below. Make/Car Line Model Year Manufacturer Production Period Toyota / RAV4 2022 TMC September 2, 2021 through March 31, 2022 Toyota / RAV4 Hybrid 2022 TMC November 30, 2021 through March 31, 2022 Toyota / RAV4 Prime 2022 TMC September 6, 2021 through March 29, 2022 Applicability Part Number Part Name Component Description Toyota / RAV4, RAV4 Hybrid, RAV4 Prime 72010-42450 ADJUSTER ASSY, FR SEAT, RH Seat Frame Assembly Note: (1) Although the involved vehicles are within the above production period range, not all vehicles in this range were sold in the U.S. (2) Only vehicles equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function in the above production range that were manufactured at certain plant locations are involved in this recall. Certain vehicles manufactured at other plants are equipped with seat frames of the same design; however, no interference has been found with current production parts that were inspected at those locations. 3. Total Number of Vehicles Involved: Toyota RAV4 : 1,006 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid : 1,031 Toyota RAV4 Prime : 1,496 Total : 3,533 4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance: Based on inspections of a sample of vehicles in its inventory, Toyota estimates approximately 70% of the involved vehicles equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function described in Section 5 may have interference of seat components near the OCS sensor. Whether the noncompliance is present on each potentially affected vehicle depends on the amount of interference between the seat frame and stopper and the position of the passenger seat at the time the OCS was initially calibrated. 5. Description of Noncompliance: The subject vehicles are equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function that contains an Occupant Classification System (OCS) which provides input to the Supplemental Restraint System to determine the deployment strategy of the front passenger airbag, depending on the occupant load. There is a possibility that a stopper and the seat frame near the OCS sensor were assembled with variations that created interference between these parts, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load. As such, the subject vehicles may not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b)(2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2. If the OCS does not detect the occupant load correctly, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in the front passenger seat. 6. Test Results and Other Information: In mid-March 2022, during a final inspection process at a vehicle assembly plant in Japan, a Toyota team member found one vehicle with an output value of an OCS that was out of specification. Upon inspecting the seat assembly of this vehicle, it was found that a stopper near the OCS sensor was interfering with the seat frame. An investigation began which involved inspection of other vehicles at various assembly plants. Interference was found in some vehicles equipped with an 8-way power seat with a seat lifter function. Based on the results of these investigations, Toyota determined that assembly variation created interference of these parts in certain vehicles, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load. Based on this analysis, on July 15, 2022, it was determined that it is possible that an inaccurate reading from an OCS sensor could cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy as designed in the event of a crash. As such, the involved vehicles may not meet some portions of the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b)(2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2. 7. Description of Corrective Repair Action: All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. The dealers will inspect to determine whether there is interference between the seat frame and stopper. If interference is found, the stopper will be adjusted and the occupant classification system will be re-calibrated. Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty. 8. Recall Schedule: Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles will begin by September 19, 2022. A copy of the draft owner notification letter(s) will be submitted as soon as available. 9. Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule: Notifications to distributors/dealers will be sent on July 21, 2022. Copies of dealer communications will be submitted as they are issued. 10. Manufacturer’s Campaign Number: 22TA08

Note: Based on inspections of a sample of vehicles in its inventory, Toyota estimates approximately 70% of the involved vehicles equipped with an 8-way power front passenger seat with a seat lifter function described in Section 5, may have interference of seat components near the OCS sensor. Whether the noncompliance is present on each potentially affected vehicle depends on the amount of interference between the seat frame and stopper and the position of the passenger seat at the time the OCS was initially calibrated.

There is a possibility that a stopper and the seat frame near the OCS sensor were assembled with variations that created interference between these parts, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load. As such, the subject vehicles may not meet the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b)(2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2. If the OCS does not detect the occupant load correctly, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in the front passenger seat.

Upon inspecting the seat assembly of this vehicle, it was found that a stopper near the OCS sensor was interfering with the seat frame. An investigation began which involved inspection of other vehicles at various assembly plants. Interference was found in some vehicles equipped with an 8-way power seat with a seat lifter function. Based on the results of these investigations, Toyota determined that assembly variation created interference of these parts in certain vehicles, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load. Based on this analysis, on July 15, 2022, it was determined that it is possible that an inaccurate reading from an OCS sensor could cause the front passenger airbag to not deploy as designed in the event of a crash. As such, the involved vehicles may not meet some portions of the requirements of FMVSS No. 208, paragraphs S5.1.1(b) (2), S5.1.2(b), S16.1(a)(2), S16.1(b), S17, and S20.2. Description of Remedy : Description of Remedy Program : All known owners of the subject vehicles will be notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. The dealers will inspect to determine whether there is interference between the seat frame and stopper. If interference is found, the stopper will be adjusted, and the occupant classification system will be re-calibrated. As the owner notification letters will be mailed out well within the active period of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, all involved vehicle owners for this recall would have been provided a repair at no cost under Toyota’s Warranty.
