This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment. |
| Remedy | Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859. |
