## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2018 Toyota Prius C vehicles sold in Puerto Rico.  The front passenger air bag and recommended child occupant seating positions label may not have been attached during assembly.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

If the label is missing, occupants may not follow the proper restraint usage guidelines, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify owners and will mail the removable labels to all known owners of the subject vehicles, free of charge.  The recall began on April 11, 2018.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-888\-270\-9371.  Toyota's number for this recall is J0L.


## 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.
