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.

RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE (AUG'15) FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR WHICH IN THE EVENT OF A RUPTURE (AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT), METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIR BAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS POTENTIALLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. SINCE THIS WAS JUST A NOTICE AND NOT A REQUEST TO FIX THE SAFETY RECALL, I HAVE WAITED OVER A MONTH AND HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WHEN I CALLED MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALERSHIP TODAY (9/9/15), THEY TOO HAVE NOT HEARD ABOUT ANY UPDATES TO REPAIRING THE CAR. DUE TO THE SERIOUS NATURE OF THIS RECALL AND HUGE INCONVENIENCE OF NOT ALLOWING ANYONE TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF AN ECONOMY CAR, I WANTED TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. I BELIEVE THIS IS WAY TOO LONG TO NOT HEAR ANYTHING FROM TOYOTA ABOUT A REPAIR.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT CAN CAUSE FATALITY. THIS IS A NINE (9) YEAR OLD CAR. THE REPLACEMENT PART MAY BE THREE (3) YEARS AWAY, WHEN THE CAR WILL BE TWELVE (12) YEARS OLD. INTERIM OPTIONS OF EITHER DISABLING THE AIRBAG OR NOT SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT ARE VERY POOR SOLUTIONS. IF TOYOTA CAN HOLD OUT LONG ENOUGH ALL DEFECTIVE CARS WILL BE OFF THE ROAD AND NO REPAIRS WILL BE NECESSARY. THIS OUTCOME IS VERY BAD, THE RESOLUTION IS NOT ADEQUATE. DISAPPOINTED TO REALIZE THAT CAR OWNER AND PASSENGER SAFETY IS NOT A PRIORITY CONCERN FOR NHTSA, BUT RATHER THE FOCUS SEEMS TO BE ON MAINTAINING HAPPY CAR MANUFACTURERS. A PROPER RESOLUTION WOULD BE TO REPAIR THE CAR IN SEPTEMBER 2015.

TOYOTA WAS SUPPOSED TO REPLACE THE RUSTED WHEELS BUT IT APPEARS THEY EITHER JUST REPAINTED THEM OR REPLACED THEM WITH ANOTHER DEFECTIVE WHEEL. THE WHEELS ARE RUSTING EXCESSIVELY. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ADVISING ME THAT MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS ON RECALL LIST BUT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME NO MENTION WAS MADE OF THE DRIVER SIDE OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. WHEN I TELEPHONED TOYOTA, I WAS TOLD BY TOYOTA THAT NO RECALL WAS BEING ISSUED FOR DRIVER SIDE OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAGS. THIS CAR HAS HAD SURGE ISSUES, RUSTED WHEELS, TIRES 6 AND 8 YEARS OLD AT TIME CAR WAS PURCHASED AS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE, NOW SHRAPNEL DANGER FROM AIRBAGS WITH NO RECALL. I PUT 8500 MILES ON CAR FIRST YEAR I OWNED IT. THEN SURGE OCCURRED AND NOW IT ONLY HAS 14500 MILES SINCE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. TOYOTA WANTS ME TO GIVE IT TO DEALER TO HOLD UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED. NO GUARANTEE RE DAMAGE DUE TO CAR SITTING ON DEALERS LOT FOR MONTHS I.E. RUSTED BRAKES, ENGINE, ETC FROM SITTING UNUSED FOR MONTHS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. TOYOTA SHOULD BE MADE TO TAKE BACK THIS VEHICLE AND REPLACE IT WITH NEW COROLLA. I BOUGHT IT NEW SINCE I WAS RETIRING AND NOW RETIRED AND CAN NOT AFFORD NEW CAR. SO I AM STUCK WITH IT AND CAN NOT DRIVE IT OR ENJOY MY RETIREMENT OR VISIT RELATIVES SINCE I CAN NOT DRIVE CAR ON HIGHWAY. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.
