Toyota will recall 1.12 million vehicles worldwide due to a fault affecting their airbags.
The recall covers 2020 to 2022 model year vehicles, including various Avalon, Camry, Corolla, RAV4, Lexus ES250, ES300H, ES350, RX350 Highlander and Sienna Hybrid vehicles and could result in the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensors not working.
A short circuit in these models’ sensors could cause their airbags not to deploy as designed.
The sensors ensure air bags do not deploy if a small adult or child is sitting in the front seat.
Toyota and Lexus, a brand owned by Toyota Motor Corporation, will inspect the OCS sensors and replace them if necessary at no cost to owners.
The Japanese auto-giant will notify customers by the middle of February 2024 if their cars are in the recall.
