What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).
Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (SRS wiring) that increases the risk of injury during a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
Plain-English summary
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2009-2015 Toyota Venza vehicles. The recall involves approximately 279,040 vehicles where the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) wiring may become damaged with regular use of the driver-side door.
Damaged wires may cause the air bag sensor to become inoperable, preventing the deployment of the side and curtain air bags on the driver side. This condition increases the risk of injury during a crash.
Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver-side front door wire harness free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on October 19, 2021. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
