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. - [2020573](/recalls/tc/2020573.md), 2020-11-25: Airbag. Issue: On certain vehicles, the steering column may have been damaged during assembly. As a result, the steering column could move when the driver\-front airbag inflates. This could cause reduced protection for the driver in a crash. Safety Risk: Reduced occupant protection could lead to increased injuries in a crash. Corrective Actions: Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the steering column. - [2020514](/recalls/tc/2020514.md), 2020-10-28: Fuel System. Issue: On certain vehicles, the low\-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, then engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This recall is an expansion of recalls SRC R95/SRC R96 and SRC RA2/SRC RA3 \(Transport Canada Recall Numbers 2020\-005 and 2020\-088\). Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the fuel pump. - [2020288](/recalls/tc/2020288.md), 2020-06-24: Steering. Issue: On certain vehicles, the cover of the electric power steering \(EPS\) gearbox may not be properly attached. As a result, water can enter the gearbox and corrode internal components. Under certain conditions, this can result in a loss of power steering assist. Safety Risk: A loss of power steering assist may result in a sudden increase in steering effort, especially at low vehicle speeds. This could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: Toyota will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a Toyota dealer to replace the electric power steering gear assembly. - [2020039](/recalls/tc/2020039.md), 2020-02-06: Engine. Issue: On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.5\-L 4\-cylinder engine, the engine block may be porous. As a result, the engine block could crack and cause internal or external coolant leaks. This could cause engine overheating or internal engine damage and result in an engine failure. For non\-hybrid vehicles, this could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This problem may lead to engine noise, smoke, cause warning lights to turn on and/or cause an audible chime to sound before an engine failure. Safety Risk: A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash. Additionally, an engine failure could create the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the engine block casting serial number. If the serial number is within the identified range, the dealer will replace the engine with a new one. ## Check a VIN - [NHTSA recall lookup by VIN, United States](https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls) - [Transport Canada recall search, Canada](https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng) Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada.
