For Toyota (Avalon) Owners to Inspect/Replace OCS Sensors
Campaign Summary
Abdul Latif Jameel Co. Ltd would like to inform owners of Toyota (Avalon) of Special Service Campaign on their vehicles to inspect/replace OCS sensors due to the possibility that, during the production process during a specific period at a certain supplier, the OCS sensor Printed Circuit Board (PCB) became deformed, causing a crack to form in a capacitor, which could lead to moisture entering the capacitor over time and result in a short circuit. If this occurs, the SRS warning lamp will illuminate, the “Passenger Airbag OFF” lamp will illuminate, a Multi-Information Display (MID) message will display, and the front passenger airbag may not deploy in certain crashes as designed, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in the seat in the event of a crash.
