What this recall means for you
The occupant classification system in some 2019 Camry vehicles may have been improperly calibrated. This can stop the front passenger airbag and knee airbag from deploying as designed in a crash, which means the vehicles do not meet federal safety standards for occupant crash protection.
If the airbags do not deploy as intended during a crash, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of injury. Owners will be notified by Toyota, and authorized dealers will recalibrate the occupant classification system at no cost. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 and reference recall number K0M.
