Toyota Motor Co. is recalling one million vehicles worldwide due to a defect that prevents airbags from deploying, increasing the risk of injury.
The to remind includes a range of Toyota and Lexus vehicles with model years from 2020 to 2022. Included in the recall are Toyota Avalons, Camrys, Highlanders, RAV4s, Siennas and Corollas, plus some hybrids of those models.
Lexus models in the recall include the ES250 sedan and RX350 SUV.
