What Happened
The air bag sensors in your vehicle are like the eyes and ears of the air bags. They help the air bags deploy in a crash to protect you. In certain 2015-2016 Lexus and 2016 Toyota Prius models, these sensors might not work as they should.
Risk if Unfixed
If a crash happens and the air bags don't deploy, you could be more likely to get hurt. This is because the air bags are designed to help cushion the impact and keep you safe.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will check the sensors and replace them if necessary, and the repair is free. They'll contact you when the fix is ready.
