Toyota Canada is recalling 44,041 Avalon, Camry, Camry Hybrid and Venza vehicles from 2012-2013. In some cases, if the air conditioning condenser drain hose were to become clogged, water could accumulate and leak onto the airbag control module. This could cause the airbag warning light to illuminate, and potentially result in an unintended deployment of the airbags.

Water damage could also result in a loss of power steering assist, forcing the vehicle to revert to a manual steering mode which would require greater driver effort, especially at low speeds.

Toyota dealers will install a protective shield and sealant to address the issue.
