ON APRIL 1, 2019 I WAS TAKING MY GRANDDAUGHTER TO SCHOOL ONE MORNING. SHE GOT IN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND SHUT THE DOOR. THE SOUND I HEARD WHEN SHE SHUT THE DOOR I HAD NEVER HEARD BEFORE. IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE HAD MAYBE GRAZED AN EMPTY PLASTIC WATER BOTTLE AS SHE SHUT THE DOOR. I DIDNT THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AGAIN UNTIL APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES LATER WHEN WE STOPPED AT A CONVENIENCE STORE. I HEARD THAT SAME NOISE WHEN SHE GOT OUT AND SHE THE DOOR. I OPENED THE DOOR MYSELF, LISTENED CAREFULLY AND REALIZED I HAD A HOLE IN THE GLASS OF MY SUNROOF THE SIZE OF A GOLF BALL. NOT ONLY THAT BUT VISIBLY I COULD SEE EVERY INCH OF MY SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. VERY PUZZLED, I EXHASTED ALL THE POSSIBILITIES OF HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED AND COME UP WITH NOTHING. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND COULDN'T GIVE THEM AN EXPLANATION ON HOW THIS HAPPENED. AFTER READING AN ARTICLE ONLINE, I REALIZE THAT MY SUNROOF HAD EXPLODED WHILE (THANK GOD) MY CAR WAS SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Avalon, Avalon HV, Venza, Camry, and Camry HV vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the drain hose for the air conditioning condenser may become clogged causing water to accumulate at the bottom of the air conditioning condenser unit housing. The accumulated water may then leak through a seam in the housing onto the air bag control module potentially resulting in a short circuit of the module.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: A short circuit may cause the air bags to become disabled or inadvertently deploy. An inadvertent airbag deployment can increase the risk of injury or the possibility of a crash. An inoperative airbag can increase the risk of injury in a severe crash. The power steering assist could also become inoperable resulting in increased steering effort and can increase the risk of a crash at low speeds.
Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the air conditioning condenser unit housing and install a protective cover on the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on February 5, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
