2009–2015 Toyota Venza Non-Deployment of Side and Curtain Shield Airbags May Occur
On April 13, 2021, Toyota filed a Defect Information Report (DIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency of our intent to conduct a voluntary Safety Recall on certain 2009 – 2015 model year Venza vehicles.
Condition:
The subject vehicles have a sensor in the driver-side front door that is connected to the airbag system control unit by electrical wires. One of these wires can fracture over time. If this occurs, the airbag warning lamp could illuminate and the sensor in the door could become inoperable. This may prevent the side airbag and curtain shield airbag on the driver side from deploying in certain types of collisions, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash where those airbags are needed.
Remedy:
Any authorized Toyota dealer will inspect the driver-side front door wire harness and, if necessary, replace it with an improved one FREE OF CHARGE. Toyota has sufficient parts to begin a phased implementation of the remedy. Refer to the table below to determine the remedy status and dates that Toyota estimates the remedy will become available for each vehicle model.
Covered Vehicles:
There are approximately 279,000 vehicles covered by this Safety Recall. Approximately 5,700 vehicles involved in this Safety Recall were distributed to Puerto Rico.
Owner Letter Mailing Date:
Toyota will notify owners by mid-June 2021.
