What happened

Southeast Toyota Distributors is recalling certain Toyota vehicles from model years 2009 through 2013, including the Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Prius, RAV4, Corolla, Tundra, and other models. The recall affects vehicles that may have had accessories like leather seat covers, seat heaters, or headrest DVD systems installed without proper testing of the front passenger seat occupant sensing system. If this system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy during a crash or may deploy inappropriately based on the passenger's size and position, potentially increasing the risk of injury.

Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Southeast Toyota. Dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859 for more information.
