SUMMARY:

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2016 Avalon and Camry vehicles manufactured November 30, 2015 to March 4, 2016.

The occupant classification system (OCS) that activates or deactivates the front passenger seat air bag system may have been improperly calibrated.

As a result, the front passenger air bag and the front passenger knee air bag may not deploy as intended in certain crash scenarios.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”

 

CONSEQUENCE:

Air bags that do not deploy as intended during a crash increase the risk of injury.

 

REMEDY:

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the OCS, free of charge.

The recall began by May 13, 2016.

Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371.

Toyota’s number for this recall is G0J.

 

NOTES:

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
