What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

What Happened
The occupant classification system in your vehicle is like a brain that figures out whether a passenger is an adult or a child and decides if the air bags should inflate or not. In some 2016 Avalon and Camry models, this system might be misjudging the weight of the passenger.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bags don't inflate properly during a crash, you could be at higher risk of injury. This is a serious safety issue, as air bags are designed to protect you in the event of a collision.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will recalibrate the occupant classification system to ensure it works correctly, and this service is completely free. Just schedule an appointment when you receive the recall notice.
