Toyota recalls 300 thousand SUVs: Highlander and RAV4

Tip extends to 214 thousand cars RAV4 and Highlander, about 94 thousand U.S. manufacturing 2007-2008. And about 19 thousand and 6 thousand RAV4 Highlander, released in the same period in Canada. All the cars were sold in North America. According to Toyota, in some cases, side air bags could work without an accident.

Problems with the sensors can lead to accidental triggering of airbags and side curtain safety, as well as belt tensioners. Engineers concerned about the fact that such a failure may occur during movement. The Toyota stressed that similar problems in the car brand Lexus, released on the same production-based, not fixed.
