Safety: Airbags too sensitive, deploy too easily in certain accidents like hitting a deer

This in turn caused the sensor, which is part of the Toyota logo, to be mis-aligned and not function.

The radar sensor on the Rav4 is for the pre-collision system/auto braking system and cruise control, it cannot set off an airbag.

Same thing. The airbag sensor is mounted right under the front of the hood in the middle, just behind the grille.

There is also a safing sensor in the airbag control unit, there must be sufficient g forces in the collision to trigger the safing sensor, the front collision sensors alone will not cause an airbag to deploy.
