Toyota is recalling nearly 170,000 pickup trucks, SUVs and cars because the air bags may not inflate in a crash.

The recall covers 2018 and 2019 Tundra pickups and Sequoia SUVs as well as 2019 Avalon sedans.

Toyota says the air bag control computer can erroneously detect a fault when the vehicles are started, possibly resulting in the air bags not deploying in a crash.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will update the air bag control software. The recall is expected to begin October 22.
