In a June 21 "T- bone" collision in which I was hit by an SUV on the left side while driving on us 20 in western Massachusetts, none of the side airbags deployed. This resulting in severe injury to my left rib cage (11 of 12 ribs either broken or cracked). The SUV had run a stop sign and was estimated to have been going 45-50 mph. The driver and passenger front airbags deployed, but not the side airbags that would have provided vital protection. I suspect that the sensors failed to trigger the airbag deployment.
The contact owns a 2009 Toyota Avalon. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 15V043000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available. Updated 03/10/16 updated 03/14/16.
After sitting in front passenger seat general air bag light came on and light for passenger airbag indicates "off". reference NHTSA campaign number 13V014000: This covers passenger seat sensor adjustment which is probable cause in this complaint. Upon calling southeast Toyota ([xxx]) February 20th, they indicated VIN was not covered? request action to enforce recall for my VIN as it is most likely culprit for lights; and my passengers are at risk for injury due to lack of proper air bag operation.
