Airbag

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, a sensor for the occupant classification system (OCS) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the sensor could short circuit and cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated. Note: This problem would cause a warning message to display on the instrument panel and the airbag indicator light would display "passenger airbag off".

Safety Risk

An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.

Corrective Action & Repair

Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the OCS sensor.

Airbag

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, the steering column may have been damaged during assembly. As a result, the steering column could move when the driver-front airbag inflates. This could cause reduced protection for the driver in a crash.

Safety Risk

Reduced occupant protection could lead to increased injuries in a crash.

Corrective Action & Repair

Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering column.

Steering

Issue Description

On certain vehicles, the cover of the electric power steering (EPS) gearbox may not be properly attached. As a result, water can enter the gearbox and corrode internal components. Under certain conditions, this can result in a loss of power steering assist.

Safety Risk

A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash.

Corrective Action & Repair

Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer to replace the electric power steering gear assembly.

Engine

Issue Description

On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5-L 4-cylinder engine, the engine block may be porous. As a result, the engine block could crack and cause internal or external coolant leaks. This could cause engine overheating or internal engine damage and result in an engine failure. For non-hybrid vehicles, this could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This problem may lead to engine noise, smoke, cause warning lights to turn on and/or cause an audible chime to sound before an engine failure.

Safety Risk

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an engine failure could create the risk of a fire.

Corrective Action & Repair

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine block casting serial number. If the serial number is within the identified range, the dealer will replace the engine with a new one.
