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.

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN REGARDS TO MY 2006 TOYOTA COROLLA FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR MODULE. IN RESPONSE TO THE NOTICE, I CALLED THE RECOMMENDED TOYOTA DEALER FOR ST PETERSBURG FL AT 8501 US HWY 19 N, PINELLAS PARK FL 33781 ON JULY 28, AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD TAKE TWO WEEKS TO HAVE THE PART IN AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEM TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR. MORE THAN TWO WEEKS HAS PASSED AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEM. TODAY, AUGUST 14, I CALLED TO FOLLOW-UP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS, A MONTH, OR MAYBE LONGER. THE FIRST TIME I CALLED THEY DID NOT COLLECT MY VIN NUMBER, AND THIS TIME THEY ASKED FOR THE VIN AND SAID THAT THEY CAN ONLY TAKE ACTION WITH A VIN, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY FIRST CALL WAS NOT EVEN CAPTURED. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO SEE SOME ACTION TAKEN TO HAVE THE PART AVAILABLE AND MY VEHICLE REPAIRED.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT AFTER OPENING THE DOOR PANEL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, THAT A CRITICAL PART (A LARGE HEAD BOLT) WAS NEEDED BUT THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY IN STOCK. THEY STATED (AND I CONFIRMED WITH THEIR CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER) THAT TOYOTA WILL ONLY RELEASE 5 OF THE LARGE HEADED BOLTS A DAY TO THE DEALERS. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT 128 PEOPLE WERE AHEAD OF ME IN LINE FOR THIS PART MAKING IT VERY CLEAR THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET THE NECESSAY REPAIR DONE FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. TOYOTA CONFIRMED THAT I AM EXPECTED TO DRIVE AROUND WITH A FAULTY AIR BAG STSTEN FOR OVER 3 WEEKS. IT IS APPALLING TO ME THAT TOYOTA WOULD PUT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES LIVES IN DANGER LIKE THIS BY NOT SUPPLYING THE NECESSARY PARTS IN A TIMLEY MANNER. HOW CAN THE GOVERNMENT ALLOW THIS? WHY ARE YOU NOT DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE AROUND FOR OVER 3 WEEKS KNOWING WHAT I KNOW ABOUT MY CAR'S AIRBAG SYSTEM. I EXPECT YOU TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATLEY TO AVOID LARGE SCALE NEGATIVE PUBLICITY FOR TOYOTA AND FOR YOUR AGENCY AND THE LACK OF OVERSITE ON YOUR PART.
