Involved in the recall are Camry sedans from model years 2002-2004 that have optional side air bags. The defect hasn’t been blamed for any deaths or injuries, Toyota spokeswoman Julie Alfonso told AP – a supplier discovered the defect.


Toyota reportedly said improper assembly caused some bags to become twisted – if that happens, not enough gas will be released to inflate the air bag in a crash.


Dealers will inspect the air bags for free and replace them if necessary – the company is scheduled to begin notifying customers about the recall next month, AP added.
