What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS

What Happened
Your Avalon's seat belt buckle is a small part that tells the airbag system if you're buckled in. In some cases, the buckle might have been replaced with a faulty part that lies to the airbag system.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag system thinks you're buckled in when you're not, it might not deploy the airbags properly in a crash. This could lead to serious injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will check the seat belt assembly to make sure it's working correctly and replace it if necessary, all at no cost to you. Just schedule an appointment when you get the recall notice.
