These vehicles had their driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
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.

The inflators in the front passenger air bags are susceptible to rupture in the event of a crash necessitating the deployment of the front passenger air bag.

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) notified the agency on May 13, 2015 that they are recalling certain model year 2004 Sequoia vehicles manufactured August 18, 2003, to August 19, 2004, and 2003-2004 Tundra vehicles manufactured March 18, 2003, to August 25, 2004. 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.

TAKATA RECALL - LAST SUMMER, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM TOYOTA REGARDING THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG FOR OUR 2006 COROLLA. WE MADE AN APPOINTMENT AT A LOCAL DEALER (BOCH TOYOTA SOUTH IN NORTH ATTLEBORO, MA) AND BROUGHT THE CAR IN ON AUGUST 13, 2015. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND NEEDED THE AIRBAG REPLACED, BUT TOLD US THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. IT IS NOW OVER 8 MONTHS LATER. WE KEEP GETTING PHONE CALLS AND MAILINGS FROM TOYOTA TELLING US HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE THIS SAFETY RECALL WORK COMPLETED, YET THE DEALERSHIP STILL DOES NOT HAVE THE PART. TODAY BOTH THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE AT THE PHONE NUMBER LISTED ON THE MOST RECENT SAFETY RECALL MAILING CONFIRMED THAT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACK ORDER. WE ASKED THE TOYOTA REPRESENTATIVE WHY THEY CONTINUED TO LEAVE PHONE MESSAGES AND SEND US MAILINGS REGARDING HAVING THE WORK DONE IF THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY SAID IT WAS A LEGAL OBLIGATION. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE DEALER OR TOYOTA IS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE STATES "UNTIL THE REMEDY IS PERFORMED, THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED." 8 MONTHS AND COUNTING WITH NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE PART MAY BE AVAILABLE IS UNACCEPTABLE.

THAT MORNING, A GENTLEMAN CALLED ME TO ASK IF I WOULD BE WILLING TO RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT BECAUSE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS SHORT-STAFFED. EVEN THOUGH, I HAD TAKEN THE DAY OFF WORK TO MAKE THE APPOINTMENT, I SAID I UNDERSTOOD AND, SINCE I DID NOT KNOW MY WORK SCHEDULE AT THE TIME, WOULD CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH, I WAS BUSY WITH WORK, SISTER'S SURGERY, AND A SCHEDULED VACATION, BUT I CALLED ROHRICH TO RESCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. IT WAS SCHEDULED ON MONDAY, MARCH 28TH AT 1:00 P.M. HOWEVER, ON SATURDAY, MARCH 26TH, ROHRICH LEFT A VOICE MAIL MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE TO SAY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS 'SHORT STAFFED' AND TO CALL BACK TO RESCHEDULE. I CALLED ON MARCH 28TH AND MADE THE APPOINTMENT FOR THE FOLLOWING DAY, TUESDAY, MARCH 29TH AT 1:00 P.M. I DROPPED THE CAR OFF AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND MY HUSBAND PICKED ME UP SO THAT WE COULD GO OUT FOR LUNCH. NOT 10 MINUTES LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED ME ON MY CELL PHONE TO TELL ME THEY 'DIDN'T HAVE THE PART' AND I COULD EITHER LEAVE THE CAR UNTIL TOMORROW, WHICH WOULD BE TODAY, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 30TH OR PICK UP THE CAR AND RESCHEDULE AND, IF/WHEN I CALL TO RESCHEDULE, ASK TO MAKE SURE THAT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS THE PART. ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I REALIZE THIS IS A RECALL AND I WOULDN'T/SHOULDN'T BE A 'PAYING' CUSTOMER, BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
