Issue:
On certain vehicles, a sensor for the occupant classification system (OCS) may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the sensor could short circuit and cause the airbag system to turn off the passenger-front airbag even when a passenger is seated.
Note: This problem would cause a warning message to display on the instrument panel and the airbag indicator light would display "passenger airbag off".

Safety Risk:
An airbag that is turned off could increase the risk of injury to a passenger in a crash.

Corrective Actions:
Toyota will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the OCS sensor.

The Canadian register on this site

Lexus elsewhere in this register

Lexus is named on 109 notices in the copy of Transport Canada’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same system: Airbag

734 notices in this register name Airbag. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Toyota Camry Hybrid, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.

This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Lexus: 109 in the register, and 593 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2023.
