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.

"TAKATA RECALL". I AM STILL WAITING FOR TOYOTA TO CONTACT ME, TO REPAIR/REPLACE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG SYSTEM.
Air bags, Other or unspecified, Sep 22, 2016
TAKATA RECALL- THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL. AT THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON CONSTANTLY WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. I ADVISED THE DEALER/REPAIR THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THAT WE HAD RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL. THE AIRBAG WAS REPAIRED/REPLACED. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND STAYED ON, THEREFORE I CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME TO BRING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND NOW THEY SAY IT COST $110 FOR THE ASSESSMENT AND $550 FOR THE SPIRAL CABLE. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE AIRBAG RECALL AND REPAIRED AT THE TIME THE RECALLED PART WAS REPAIRED. WHEN I CALLED TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY TO ASK ABOUT THE RECALLED AIR BAG THEY MADE ME FEEL AS IF WE WERE IN THE WRONG BECAUSE WE DID NOT TAKE IT BACK IMMEDIATELY AND THAT THESE WERE TWO SEPARATE ISSUES. WE TOOK THE CAR BACK AT OUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE AND WERE SHOCKED AT THE COST OF REPAIRS AND THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL AND WAS NOT CORRECTED WHEN THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. IN ADDITION, OTHER VEHICLES HAVE RECALLED THIS PART SUCH AS DODGE, VOLKSWAGEN, HYUNDAI, KIA, AND JUST THIS YEAR JEEP ISSUED A RECALL ON THE SAME PART. I HAVE INCLUDED THESE DOCUMENT IN THIS COMPLAINT. I FEEL THAT THIS PART SHOULD BE LOOKED AT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF ALL THOSE DRIVING A TOYOTA.

MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH ODOMETERS IN TOYOTA 2006. IT IS THE FEDERAL LAW THAT MANDATE FUNCTIONAL ODOMETER. IT APPEARS THAT DIGITAL GAUGE IN SOME TOYOTA CARS WAS PROGRAMMED TO DISCONNECT ODOMETER AT 299999 MILLAGE. NOT ONLY THE REPLACEMENT OF ODOMETER COST $600.00 BUT THE NEW ODOMETER WILL HAVE TO BE SET AT 0 ZERO MILLAGE WHICH IS INCORRECT AND FRAUDULENT. TOYOTA ODOMETER FOR WHATEVER AND UNKNOWN REASON DON'T GO PASS 300000 MILES. HOW OTHERWISE THE OWNER SHOULD KEEP A TRACK OF MILLAGE. TOYOTA DOESN'T SEEMS TO RECOGNIZE THIS DEFECT AS A REASON FOR RECALL AND/OR REIMBURSEMENT. SO FAR VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION WITH MILLAGE STACKED AT 299999.

1. HAD TO CHANGE ALL AUTOMATIC DOOR LOCKS AT LEAST TWICE AT $400 A POP. 2. HAD TO REPLACE ALL 4 COILS TO ENGINE AT A COST OF $810.53 3. HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSMISSION REBUILT DO IT FAILING WHILE OF I295 ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. AT A COST OF 3631.49 4. AFTER TRANSMISSION WORK HAD TO HAVE MY TRANSFER CASE INTERNAL SEALED AT A COST OF $711.55 WHEN WE BOUGHT THIS CAR AT TOYOTA IN DECEMBER 2005, WE WERE LED TO BELIEVE THAT THIS CAR WAS BUILT LONGEVITY OR FOR THE LONG HAUL WITH ONLY HAVING TO DO ROUTINE MAINTANCE WHICH I HAVE KEPT UP ON EVERY 5000 MILES AS RECOMMENDED BY TOYOTA. MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE TRANSMISSION COST. FIRESTONE STATED THAT TOYOTA RECOMMENDS A TRANSMISSION SERVICE EVERY 50,000 MILES BUT MY MAINTANCE BOOK SAYS ONLY DO THAT IF YOU EITHER TOW, OFF ROADING, OR DIRT ROADS FOR LONG PERIOD OF THE TIME. I DID NEITHER, SO TOYOTA SAYS NO NEED TO DO SERVICE. I DID CONTACT TOYOTA ADVOCATE AFTER I HAD MY TRASMISSION DONE AT COTTMAN TRANSMISSION AND THEY COULD NOT HELP ME CAUSE I WENT TO AN OUTSIDE VENDOR. MY CAR HAD ONLY 148,745 MILES. TOYOTA SAYS THEY WOULD NOT PAY FOR TRANSMISSION UNLESS THERE IS A RECALL. FOR MY SEARCH ON THE INTERNET THERE IS DOCUMENTATION THAT TOYOTA KNEW THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS FAILING BUT DID NOT WANT TO DO A RECALL BUT WOULD ONLY COMPENSATE IF THERE IS A RECALL. I JUST WANT TO BE HEARD AND POSSIBLY COMPENSATED FOR SOME OF MY REPAIRS THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE I WANTED TO KEEP IT A LONG TIME AND NOW IT IS COSTING ME MORE THAN IT IS WORK.
