## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2016 Toyota Prius and Lexus RX 350, RX 350 F Sport, RX 450h F Sport and RX 450h vehicles and 2015\-2016 Lexus NX 200T, NX Turbo and NX 300h vehicles.  The air bag pressure sensors and/or the acceleration sensors may fail causing the side/curtain shield air bags and/or the front air bags to not deploy in the event of a crash.


## What can happen

If the air bags fail to deploy in a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the sensors as necessary based on their serial numbers, free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin March 12, 2018.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331.  Toyota's numbers for this recall are JLA, J0F.
