Transport Canada recall 2023684 · manufacturer campaign SRC RF9 / SRC RG1

20 December 2023

Transport Canada lists: Es 250 2021 · Es 300 2020–2021 · Es 350 2020–2021 · RX 350 2020–2021 · and 7 more

What is wrong

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".

Why it matters

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

What the dealer will do

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.

Why it matters
