Toyota is recalling roughly 1 million cars in the U.S. because the front passenger air bags may not deploy properly in a crash, posing additional risk of injury to riders, the car maker said Wednesday.
A potential defect in the Occupant Classification System (OCS) sensors in the front passenger seat of affected vehicles could cause a short circuit. As a result, the airbag system may not properly detect the passenger's presence and weight, and fail to deploy as designed in the event of a crash, increasing risk of injury.
The recall affects approximately one million 2020-2022 Toyota and Lexus vehicles and includes the following:
