AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
4 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation, 123 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
A vehicle that unexpectedly brakes increases the risk of a crash.
Because of the insufficient clamping force, the lower arm may separate from the ball joint, increasing the risk of a crash.
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Two 2014 TOYOTA AVALONs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
