What Happened
Your vehicle's side and curtain shield air bags, as well as the front air bags, have sensors that may not work as they should. These sensors help determine if the air bags should deploy in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If these sensors fail, the air bags might not deploy in a crash, which could increase the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Toyota will contact you and replace the sensors for free, starting March 12, 2018. Dealers will check the serial numbers and make the necessary repairs.
