(CNN) – Toyota is recalling about one million vehicles over a potential problem with the passenger airbag.

The recall covers 15 Toyota and Lexus models, including the Camry, Sienna and RAV4, as well as Lexus RX 350 and ES 350.

The model years are between 2020 to 2022.

Toyota says the occupant classification system sensor in the recalled vehicles could short circuit.

The sensor helps identify whether the person sitting in the front passenger seat is an adult or a child based on the weight.

Toyota says as a result of the possible glitch, the air bag may not deploy in certain kinds of crashes when it should.

Toyota will notify owners of the recalled vehicles by the middle of February.
