The accessory seat cover kit may not be installed correctly causing the seat covers not to tear as designed in the event of an airbag deployment.
As a result, the cover could prevent the seat-mounted side airbag from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
The Toyota Prius models affected by this recall were manufactured between 2014 and 2019.

What the owner should do?
If you read about a recall that you think may affect your car, you should make immediate contact with a dealer or workshop that’s been officially authorised to perform repairs on behalf of the manufacturer and ask for the details.
If you wish to know more about eventual problems of a specific car (e.g. real mileage, potential traffic accidents damages, odometer rollback, repairs, etc.), then we suggest going to HPI-Check.
