Toyota recalls 803,000 late-model vehicles including Camry

(October 18, 2013) Toyota is recalling about 803,000 sedans, mostly its Camry, in the United States from the 2012 and 2013 model years because of potential problems with air conditioning condensers, the company said on Oct. 17.

Globally, the recall involves about 885,000 Camry, Avalon and Venza sedans, including 44,000 in Canada, 10,600 in Mexico, 9,100 in Saudi Arabia and the rest scattered among 15 countries.

Water from the condenser can leak onto the airbag control module, which could cause the airbag to inflate and deploy at the wrong time, Toyota said. Also, power steering may be affected by a leaky condenser.

Toyota said the issue has led to two minor injuries and no accidents.
