What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where air bags may fail to deploy, resulting in an increased risk of injury in a crash, which aligns with the 'Severe' criteria for significant injury reports or structural defects.

Plain-English summary

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

If the air bags do not deploy as designed during a crash, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of injury. The recall covers 2019 model year Camry vehicles.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the OCS free of charge. The recall began on August 27, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or visit www.safercar.gov for more information. Toyota's number for this recall is K0M.
