Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2010-2016 4Runner, 2003-2006 Tundra, 2003-2013 Corolla, 2009-2010 Corolla Matrix, 2004-2005 RAV4, 2002-2007 Sequoia, 2011-2013 Sienna, 2008-2012 Scion xB, 2008-2009 Lexus IS-F, 2007-2012 Yaris and Lexus ES350, 2010-2017 Lexus GX460, 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 and 2010-2015 Lexus IS250C and IS350C vehicles.

Toyota will notify owners. Depending on the vehicle model, dealers will replace the front driver inflator, front passenger airbag inflator, the airbag assembly, or the front passenger airbag sub-assembly and inflator. The recall began November 20, 2019. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987. Toyota's numbers for this recall are J0A, J0B, and J0C.

On June 16, 2015, Toyota expanded the recall to include an additional 1,270,468 vehicles, including model year 2002-2003 and 2005-2007 Sequoia, 2005-2006 Tundra, 2003-2007 Corolla, 2003-2007 Corolla Matrix, 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe and 2002-2007 Lexus SC vehicles. This is to address a safety defect in the passenger side frontal air bag inflator which may produce excessive internal pressure causing the inflator to rupture upon deployment of the air bag. This recall addresses both the passenger side frontal air bags that were originally installed in the vehicles, as well as replacement air bags that may have been installed as replacement service parts. A replacement air bag may have been installed, as one example, if a vehicle had been in a crash necessitating the replacement of the passenger side frontal air bag.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
2003-2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles that are recalled under both 15V-043 and 15V-285 are under a Do Not Drive advisory. Owners of these vehicles are advised not to drive their vehicles until the recall remedy has been completed. Toyota will notify their owners. Pontiac Vibe owners will be notified by GM.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla vehicles manufactured December 28, 2001, to May 2, 2004, 2003-2004 Toyota Corolla Matrix vehicles manufactured January 6, 2002, to April 29, 2004, 2003-2004 Avalon vehicles manufactured June 5, 2002, to December 20, 2004, and 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles manufactured January 18, 2002, to April 27, 2004. Due to electrical noise, a component in the air bag control module may fail, causing the front air bags, side air bags, and/or seatbelt pretensioners to deploy inadvertently while the vehicle is being operated.
Inadvertent deployment of the air bags or the seat belt pretensioners increases the risk of an injury or crash.
Toyota will notify their owners. Pontiac Vibe owners will be notified by GM. Dealers will replace the air bag control module, free of charge. The recall began on August 24, 2015. Toyota owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. GM issued an interim notification to owners on March 27, 2015. The recall began on August 24, 2015. Pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 13V-029 and 14V-147.

Toyota is recalling certain model year 2003-2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles and 2003-2004 Pontiac Vibe vehicles. The supplemental restraint system (SRS) circuits are susceptible to internal shorting. The electrical short may create an abnormal current flow and increased heat which can damage the circuits. This could result in an inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
Inadvertent deployment of the airbags or the seat belt pretensioners may increase the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Toyota will re-notify their owners who have already had their vehicles repaired with a noise filter, but did not receive a new airbag control module, and General Motors will re-notify theirs. Dealers previously installed a supplemental harness containing an electrical filter between the airbag control module and its wire harness, free of charge. Dealers will replace the airbag control module, free of charge. The recall began on March 13, 2013. The manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for second notices. For more information, Toyota owners may call 1-800-331-4331 and Pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668.

I HAVE SPOKEN WITH TOYOTA TWICE OVER THE PAST 3 WEEKS AND THEY ARE UNABLE TO GIVE ME ANY TIMELINE ON WHEN A REMEDY MAY BE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO LEAVE A CUSTOMER WITHOUT A SAFETY REMEDY FOR NEARLY ONE YEAR. IT IS EVEN MORE EGREGIOUS THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE OF ANY SORT ON WHEN A REMEDY WILL BE AVAILABLE.

I HAVE NOT YET HAD AN INCIDENT. BASED ON TOYOTA RECOMMENDATION, I DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE (INCLUDING DOGS, OR HEAVY OBJECTS) TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT (OR THE BACK SEAT). MY VEHICLE IS STILL POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS FOR ME, THE DRIVER. I WOULD APPLY FOR AN ON/OFF SWITCH FOR THE AIRBAGS, BUT, IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR. I WANT THAT AIRBAG DE-ACTIVATED. I NEED TO GET TO WORK, AND, I CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN WAITING ALMOST 1 YEAR FOR A FIX TO THE EXPLODING AIRBAG. I AM ALSO WAITING FOR THE FIX TO THE BAD ELECTRONIC UNIT THAT COULD FIRE THE AIRBAG. HOW DO I GET YOUR PERMISSION TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE BY DE-ACTIVATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG? I AM ALREADY CONSIDERING REMOVING THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, MOUNTING IT ON THE ROOF, AND PARKING IT IN FRONT OF THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH DEATHTRAP PAINTED ALL OVER IT.

JUST OVER A WEEK AGO I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL (REMEDY NOTICE). I PROMPTLY CALLED THE CLOSEST DEALERSHIP (WITH WHOM I HAVE HAD DEALINGS TWICE IN THE PAST) TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE SERVICE. AFTER A LENGTHY CONVERSATION I WAS TOLD THAT A SPECIAL DEPARTMENT THERE WOULD HAVE TO CALL ME BACK TO SET UP A TIME FOR THE REPAIR. I EXPECTED I WOULD HEAR FROM SOMEONE THAT DAY . . . OR THE NEXT . . . BUT NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR IN FOR RECALL WORK BEFORE AT THIS DEALERSHIP AND BEEN DISPLEASED BOTH TIMES WITH THEIR WORK. CLEARLY, I AM NOT REPORTING AN ACCIDENT (YET), BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS DEALERSHIP COULDN'T CARE LESS ABOUT THIS REPAIR; I'M SURE THEY DO NOT MAKE MONEY FROM CARRYING OUT THIS SERVICE.
