Toyota recalls 1 million vehicles over possible airbag failure
(NEXSTAR) – Toyota is recalling roughly 1 million vehicles equipped with airbags that may not deploy, the carmaker announced Wednesday.
The affected models include the popular Sienna, RAV4, Corolla and Camry. All vehicles involved in the recall were made between 2020 and 2022.
The reason why you have that lingering cough
The Toyota and Lexus vehicles included in the recall have passenger seat sensors that could have been improperly manufactured. If the sensor malfunctions and fails to register the weight of the passenger, a crash might not trigger the airbag.
