## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain model year 2016 Avalon, and 2017 Camry vehicles manufactured August 3, 2016, to September 12, 2016.  The front passenger knee air bag module may have been attached to the lower instrument panel with incorrect fasteners.


## What can happen

If the air bag was installed with incorrect fasteners, the fasteners may become loose over time, affecting the air bag deployment and increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fasteners, and if necessary, replace the instrument panel brace and body bracket and reattach the air bag assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on February 8, 2017.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's number for this recall is G05.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
