About 645,000 vehicles are being recalled by Toyota throughout the world because an electrical problem could stop the airbags from inflating if a crash occurs.
The recall includes some Toyota Prius and Lexus RX and NX SUVs. Some Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, Sienta, Noah, Voxy, Esquire, Probox, Succeed, Corolla, Highlander, Levin, and Hilux models also are covered. The recalled vehicles were manufactured from May of 2015 to March of 2016.
An open electrical circuit could occur over time, Toyota said. This would set off an airbag warning light and could stop the side and front airbags from deploying.
Toyota will be sending a letter to owners about the recall in March. Consumers can call their dealer and make an appointment for them to look at the serial numbers on the sensors and replace them if replacement is needed.
