Manufacturer
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing
What Happened
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensor in your vehicle is a critical part that helps determine whether or not the front passenger air bag should deploy. In some 2020-2022 Camry models, this sensor could develop a short circuit.
Risk if Unfixed
If the OCS sensor fails, the front passenger air bag may not deploy during a crash, which could increase the risk of serious injury to the front passenger.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will inspect and replace the OCS sensor if necessary, and the repair is free. You should schedule the inspection as soon as you receive the recall notice and follow the instructions provided.
