19,400 2012 Toyota Avalons being recalled over front seat belt issue.

Cars (9/4, 925K) reports that “approximately 19,400 model-year 2012 Toyota Avalon sedans” are being recalled due to “a service part manufacturing error at a Toyota supplier,” which may have led to some Avalons having “a front seat belt inner buckle replaced with one that does not correctly identify if the seat belt is buckled.” This could “affect how the airbag system determines the appropriate airbag deployment method in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant where the front seat belt inner buckle was replaced.”
