Toyota Motor Corp is recalling 1.12 million vehicles due to a potential problem with their air bags. The recall includes vehicles from 2009 to 2019, including the Corolla, Prius, and RAV4.
The issue with these vehicles is that, due to a mixture of humidity and high temperatures, the inflator on the driver-side airbag could degrade over time. This could cause the airbag to deploy with too much force, potentially leading to injuries to the driver or passengers in the event of an accident.
Toyota has identified 770,000 vehicles in the U.S that are affected by the recall. The remaining vehicles are located in Canada and Mexico. Owners of recalled vehicles will be contacted by Toyota directly with instructions to bring in their vehicles for repair.
The repairs involve replacing the current airbag inflator with a new, improved one. Repairs will be generally free of charge, and Toyota will replace any parts that have been damaged by the faulty inflator.
Toyota is taking this recall seriously, and urges owners to contact the company directly with any questions or concerns. Toyota has already had to recall millions of vehicles before due to airbag defects, and they want to ensure that all of their customers are safe in their vehicles.
For those who own any affected vehicles, it is important to be proactive and contact Toyota immediately to begin the process of repairing the inflator. By doing this, you can help prevent any type of injury due to the faulty airbag.
