What this means for you
Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a missing safety label that increases the risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported, and the corrective action is a voluntary mailing of labels.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2018 Toyota Prius C vehicles sold in Puerto Rico. The recall addresses a defect where the front passenger air bag and recommended child occupant seating positions label may not have been attached during assembly. As a result, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
If the label is missing, occupants may not follow proper restraint usage guidelines, which increases the risk of injury in the event of a crash. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.
Toyota will notify owners and mail the removable labels to all known owners of the subject vehicles free of charge. The recall began on April 11, 2018. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
