  • Brand TOYOTA

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Toyota is recalling certain 2016 Avalon and Camry vehicles manufactured between November 30, 2015 and March 4, 2016 due to a defect in the occupant classification system (OCS) that controls whether the front passenger and front passenger knee air bags deploy. The OCS may have been improperly calibrated at the factory, which could prevent these air bags from deploying as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to passengers.

To address this issue, Toyota will notify affected owners and dealers will recalibrate the OCS system at no cost. Owners who believe their vehicle may be affected can contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 and reference recall number G0J.
