Vehicles Affected: Approximately 58,500 model-year 2016 Toyota Avalon and 2016 Toyota Camry sedans

The Problem: The front passenger seat occupant classification system, which activates and deactivates the front airbag system based on the passenger’s weight, may not be properly calibrated. This could cause the front passenger’s frontal and knee airbags to not deploy in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

The Fix: Toyota dealers will recalibrate the occupant classification system.

What Owners Should Do: Toyota will notify owners by mail. For more information, owners can call the automaker at 800-331-4331 or check online at Toyota.com/recall.
