Avalon 6-cyl

  • 66,100 miles
After sitting in front passenger seat general air bag light came on and light for passenger airbag indicates "off". reference NHTSA campaign number 13V014000: This covers passenger seat sensor adjustment which is probable cause in this complaint. Upon calling southeast Toyota ([xxx]) February 20th, they indicated VIN was not covered? request action to enforce recall for my VIN as it is most likely culprit for lights; and my passengers are at risk for injury due to lack of proper air bag operation.
