Recall 19V567 affects 680 2019 Toyota Camry vehicles with miscalibrated passenger air bag sensing. Repair is free at any franchised Toyota dealer.
Toyota is recalling 680 2019 Camry vehicles because the Occupant Classification System was improperly calibrated, which can stop the front passenger air bag and knee air bag from deploying as designed in a crash. If those air bags fail to deploy as designed, the front passenger faces a higher injury risk, and Toyota dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The occupant classification system in the 2019 Toyota Camry is the seat-sensing system for the front passenger. Its sensor and electronic control unit tell the air bag computer whether the passenger seat is occupied and help the system choose the proper response in a crash. That includes the front passenger air bag and knee air bag.
In NHTSA campaign 19V567, Toyota traced the problem to an occupant classification zero point that was not set correctly on a particular Camry production line. The zero point is the system's baseline reading for an empty seat. When that baseline is wrong, the air bag computer receives bad occupant information. In a crash, that error can prevent the front passenger air bag and knee air bag from deploying as required.
There is no warning sign before failure. The system fault is in calibration, so an owner is not expected to hear, feel, or smell anything before the air bag decision is needed.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Toyota technician recalibrates the Occupant Classification System, the sensor system that helps the vehicle identify the front passenger and command the passenger air bag response. The recall repair is free, and parts and labor are covered. Toyota's standard reimbursement plan covers documented out-of-pocket costs for owners who already paid for a related OCS calibration repair before the recall work. Bring repair invoices or payment documentation to the service desk and ask how Toyota handles the claim.
