Summary:
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing "Toyota" is recalling certain model year 2016 Avalon and Camry vehicles manufactured November 30, 2015 to March 4, 2016. The occupant classification system "OCS" that activates or deactivates the front passenger seat air bag system may have been improperly calibrated.
