Toyota is recalling 128,316 Camry sedans because the side airbags may not inflate properly. The company says there have been no reports of injuries. The defect was discovered by a supplier.
The recall includes Camry sedans from model years 2002-2004 equipped with optional side airbags. The company said that improper assembly caused some bags to become twisted. That could mean that, in a crash, the bad would not inflate fast enough to prevent injury.
Dealers will inspect the air bags for free and replace them if necessary. The company is scheduled to begin notifying customers about the recall next month.
