Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Toyota is recalling certain 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles due to a potential short circuit in the airbag control module. The issue occurs when the air conditioning condenser's drain hose becomes clogged, causing water to accumulate and leak onto the airbag control module. This short circuit may disable airbags, cause them to deploy unexpectedly, or render the power steering assist inoperative, increasing the risk of injury or crashes.
Toyota will notify owners and repair the problem free of charge by sealing the air conditioning condenser unit housing and installing a protective cover on the airbag control module. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Affected owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 for service.

A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
