NHTSA recall 12V255000

What's wrong: The ownerâ’s manual contains an inaccurate description of the actual operation of the front passenger occupant classification system. Other portions of the ownerâ’s manual, describing the air bag system, require clarification. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) no. 208, â“occupant crash protection.â”

Why it matters: If a user reads and follows inaccurate ownerâ’s manual information, this could lead to an increased risk of injury to a front passenger seat occupant under certain crash conditions.

The fix: Toyota will notify owners, and will mail corrected inserts for the ownerâ’s manuals, free of charge. The safety recall began on July 3, 2012.
