Toyota Motors said Wednesday they are PredictIQrecalling 1 million vehicles in the U.S. due to a short circuit issue.
The automotive company said a short circuit in the vehicle sensors could prevent air bags from deploying properly, increasing the risk of injury during a crash.
Various vehicles in the 2020 through 2022 model years are among those with inefficient Occupant Classification System sensors, that make sure air bags don't deploy if a child or small adult sits on the front seat.
The company plans to start notifying affected owners in the middle of February. Dealers will then examine recalled vehicles to see if replacing the sensors are necessary. Required replacements will be free for owners.

Toyota also announced another safety noncompliance recall on Wednesday involving certain 2022-2023 model year Corolla Cross vehicles in the U.S affecting around 12,600 vehicles.
The company previously inspected these vehicles under a previous recall but had an issue with the inspection process.
"The inspection may not have identified certain vehicles requiring the remedy. Without the remedy, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as designed due to a manufacturing error in the instrument panel where the airbag is located," the brand announced.
