2022 Toyota RAV4 being recalled for passenger airbag risk
from deploying correctly, presenting a potentially significant risk for increased passenger injuries during an accident.
The recall is limited to just over 3,500 units equipped with an eight-way power seat with height adjustment. These seats may have a stop on the frame that interferes with the occupant sensing system. This interference can trick the onboard safety systems into believing the seat is unoccupied, which would prevent the airbag from deploying in the event of a collision.
"There is a possibility that a stopper and the seat frame near the OCS sensor were assembled with variations that created interference between these parts, causing the OCS sensor to incorrectly detect the occupant load," Toyota's defect report toToyota says the issue is not likely present on all models equipped with the eight-way power passenger seat, but could occur in as many as 70% of vehicles so equipped.
