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.

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! THANK GOD, NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, HOWEVER, I AM WRITING IN COMPLAINT ABOUT THE SLOWNESS OF GETTING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED/FIXED IN MY VEHICLE IN REGARDS TO THE RECALL. EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR, I FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL MAKE THE AIRBAG(S) DEPLOY WHICH WILL INJURE OR KILL EITHER MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER OR MYSELF, OR BOTH OF US. I AM A SINGLE PARENT AND CANNOT AT THIS TIME AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE. I CALLED AND SPOKE WITH AN AGENCY REPRESENTATIVE AT LEAST TWO MONTHS AGO. THIS PERSON REALLY DID NOT OFFER ANY THING TO MY INQUIRY, ONLY THAT THAT THINGS WERE BEING EXPEDITED AND I SHOULD CHECK WITH MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. WHILE I DO UNDERSTAND THERE ARE LOGISTICS TO RESOLVING THIS ISSUE, THAT TAKATA OFFICIALS DRAGGED THEIR FEET, THAT THE "POWERS THAT BE" DON'T WANT TO INUNDATE THE DEALER(SHIPS) WITH AN OVERABUNDANCE OF REPAIRS AT THE SAME TIME, AND THAT, NOW, HAH IS BEING CONSIDERED, I NEED THOSE "POWERS" TO UNDERSTAND THAT ON TOP OF EVERY OTHER FEAR ONE HAS WHEN GETTING ON THE ROAD, WE DRIVERS, I, NOW HAVE THE REAL FEAR THAT A DEVICE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PROTECT ME AND MY FAMILY CAN NOW SERIOUSLY HARM EITHER ONE OF US AT ANY TIME. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN ONGOING FAR TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIRS TO BE AT THE PLACE IT CURRENTLY IS. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO PERSONALLY CONTACT ME, EITHER MY MAIL, EMAIL OR PHONE, TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED! HEARING OF ANOTHER FATALITY ON THE CBS EVENING NEWS DOES NOT ALLAY MY FEARS.

TAKATA RECALL DEFECTIVE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG WHICH CAN CAUSE DEATH OR GREAT BODILY INJURY UPON A COLLISION OR IMPACT.. RECALL ISSUED BY TOYOTA ON 6/16/2015. I RECEIVED LETTER IN AUGUST 2015 ABOUT THE RECALL. I WENT TO NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA AT `19550 NORDHOFF ST., NORTHRIDGE, CA 91324. I SPOKE TO ASST.SVC. MGR., MARTY APROIAN WHO PROVIDED INFO AND INSTRUCTIONS TO OBTAIN REPAIR. I TELEPHONED SVC DEPT ON 9/1/2015 AND SPOKE TO KATHRYN WHO SAID PART WILL BE ORDERED AND THEY WILL CALL WHEN PART ARRIVES. NO CONTACT WHATSOEVER FROM NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA, SO I PHONED THEM AGAIN ON 12/24/2015 AND SPOKE TO ANI. CHECKED ON STATUS AND SHE RELATED THAT THERE IS NO PART SO CANNOT REPAIR DANGEROUS CONDITION. SHE VERIFIED MY ORIOR CONTACT THEY WILL CALL WHEN PART ARRIVES. I HAVE SIGNIFICANT DOUBTS THAT DANGEROUS CONDITION WILL EVER BE REPAIRED IN A REASONABLE TIME FRAME. SO I PHONED TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER (CORPORATE) AT 888 270 9371 AND SPOKE WITH A DANNY WHO OPENED A CLAIM WITH A REF # OF 1512241258. IT APPEARS THAT THEY COULD DO NOTHING TO ASSIST IN OBTAINING THE NECESSARY REPAIR. AND REFERRED ME TO SERVICE MANAGER AT NORTHRIDGE TOYOTA, SO NOTHING ACCOMPLISHED RE CORRECTING A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. FIVE PLUS MONTHS HAVE ELAPSED SINCE THE RECALL DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS IN SEEKING THE REPAIR THAT HAS NOT BEEN DONE. PLEASE HELP IN WHATEVER REGULATORY MANNER POSSIBLE TO SEE THAT I OBTAIN THE REPAIR ASAP.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 15V285 AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL - THE INTERIM RECALL HAS BEEN PROVIDED MORE THAN SIX MONTHS AGO. THERE HAS BEEN NO COMMUNICATIONS ON THIS SINCE AND THERE IS NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE REPAIRS WILL BE STARTED OR COMPLETED. THE INTERIM RECALL SUGGESTS TO NOT HAVE ANY PASSENGERS. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY A RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION FOR PEOPLE THAT DO NOT HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE - UNLESS TOYOTA IS WILLING TO PROVIDE RENTALS OF THE SAME CALIBER CAR WITHOUT THIS DEFECT SO THAT FAMILIES CAN TRAVEL IN PEACE. THE SUGGESTION TO NOT HAVE THE PASSENGER THERE IS FLAWED GIVEN THAT IF THERE WILL BE METAL SHARDS IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT THOSE SHARDS COULD ALSO EFFECT THE DRIVER AS WELL AS ANYONE SITTING IN THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS DEEMS THE ENTIRE VEHICLE NON-OPERABLE. I WAS ASSUMING THAT INITIALLY THE ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED EXPEDIENTLY, BUT TO MY HORROR THAT IS NOT THE CASE.
