Typical airbag symptoms owners report

  • Owners report front airbags failing to deploy during moderate-to-severe frontal or side-impact crashes, including collisions at highway speeds.
  • Several complaints describe airbags not deploying even when the vehicle was struck hard enough to bend the frame or detach a wheel.
  • Some drivers say seat belts failed to lock at the same time airbags did not deploy, raising injury risk during crashes.
  • Owners report the SRS warning light illuminating with a continuous alarm, indicating an airbag system malfunction unrelated to a crash.
  • One complaint describes airbags making noise or triggering as if someone were sitting in the seat when no one was, alongside braking assist issues.

    Air bags:sensor:occupant classification

    Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2019 Camry vehicles. The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may have been improperly calibrated, which may prevent the proper deployment of the front passenger air bag and knee air bag, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

    Risk: In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of an injury.

    Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the OCS, free of charge. The recall began August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's number for this recall is K0M.
