| Subject: | Safety Recall J0F (J1F) โ Remedy Notice Certain 2016 Model Year Prius Airbag Sensor |
On January 31, 2018, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2016 model year Prius vehicles.
Condition
The involved vehicles have airbag systems where an open circuit could be created over time. If this were to occur, the airbag warning light will illuminate and the side/curtain shield airbags may not deploy. Airbag non-deployment could increase the risk of injury to the occupants in the event of a crash.
Remedy
Toyota will send an owner notification by first class mail advising owners to make an appointment with their authorized Toyota dealer to have the airbag sensors inspected and replaced with new ones, IF NECESSARY, at NO CHARGE.
Covered Vehicles
There are approximately 8,000 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. There were approximately 60 vehicles distributed to Puerto Rico involved in this Safety Recall.

Owner Letter Mailing Date
Toyota will begin to notify owners in late March 2018. A sample of the owner notification letter has been included for your reference.
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 Recall announcement, it is the dealershipโs 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.
