19V567000 · August 1, 2019 · Air bags
Problem: The Occupant Classification System (OCS) may have been improperly calibrated, which may prevent the proper deployment of the front passenger air bag and knee air bag, in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk: In the event of a crash, if the air bags do not deploy as designed, the front seat passenger has an increased risk of an injury.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will recalibrate the OCS, free of charge.
19V244000 · March 27, 2019 · Equipment
Problem: The text on the load capacity label may become illegible. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."
Risk: If the driver cannot read the label, they may unknowingly overload the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy: GST will notify owners, and dealers will provide corrected load carrying capacity modification labels, free of charge.
19V097000 · February 14, 2019 · Gasoline fuel system
Problem: The fuel filler pipe may not have been properly reconnected to the fuel tank during an inspection after vehicle assembly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."
Risk: The improperly connected filler pipe may leak fuel, which, in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel filler pipe, replacing it if necessary, free of charge.
