There was a safety recall for this airbag issue, and Toyota estimated the remedy can be available in Quarter 3, 2024, however, till date nothing was completed. Toyota failed to resolve this matter in a timely manner. Every time I ask the dealer, they say no remedy yet! This is very unacceptable. This is affecting my personal finance. I need this to be resolved ASAP. Thank you.

Toyota sent a letter in mid-2024 that there was a safety recall for airbag issue with 2020 Toyota Highlander. The letter stated that a remedy would be available by the third quarter of 2024. As of January 21, 2025, they still have not provided a remedy for the serious safety issue. I would like to file a complaint against Toyota for failing to remedy the defect within a reasonable time.

I am not reporting any specific incident related to this defect. I am simply complaining to NHTSA that Toyota is taking far too long to provide a remedy for the OCS sensor issue, NHTSA recall number 23V865 (Manufacturer recall number 23TB15). This issue has been ongoing since late in 2023 and it seems that Toyota should have provided a remedy by now.

NHTSA, I mentioned to the service tech that I did have an error code appeared in my front dashboard display area momentarily and disappeared several times within the last 10 months. I was told that this would be address at this inspection of OCS (Occupant Classification System) sensor appointment. Doesn't this equate to a faulty OCS sensor and requires a replacement regardless of the testing of the sensor results today. If the error code was displayed in the past logically the sensor is failing and should be replaced. Does this make sense!!!!
