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.

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS ESSENTIALLY HARASSING ME ABOUT GETTING THIS REPAIR DONE, BUT THE REPAIR CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET THE PARTS IN. I HAVE TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED A REPAIR AFTER MY THIRD CALL TO THE RECALL LINE, BUT NO ONE CAN GUARANTEE THE PARTS WILL BE IN BY THEN, EITHER. IT TOOK THEM 8 MONTHS TO TELL ME THE PARTS WERE "IN" AND I COULD SCHEDULE MY REPAIR, NOW THEY TELL ME THE PARTS ARE NOT IN AND IT'S NOT SAFE TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR IF I HAVEN'T HAD THE REPAIR. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO GET TO WORK? GROCERY STORE? ARE THEY GOING TO GIVE ME A CAR TO DRIVE UNTIL THEY CAN FIND THE PARTS THAT ARE NEEDED FOR THIS RECALL? I FEEL LIKE THEY ARE SENDING OUT THESE NOTICES TO SATISFY THEIR REQUIREMENTS, BUT THEY AREN'T ACTUALLY MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF GETTING THESE REPAIRS DONE. AND WHEN I DID CALL THEM, THEY HAD THE NERVE TO ASK ME WHAT HAD TAKEN ME SO LONG TO CALL. I DON'T KNOW, MAYBE THE FACT IT TOOK YOU 8 MONTHS TO GET THE PARTS LED ME TO BELIEVE THIS WASN'T AN URGENT MATTER. AND CLEARLY, BASED ON THE PARTS AVAILABILITY, IT IS NOT.

TAKATA RECALL I BROUGHT OUR 2007 COROLLA INTO PAULY TOYOTA IN CRYSTAL LAKE ILLINOIS ON APRIL 25, 2016 BECAUSE THEY RECEIVED THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE RECALL. IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING IT, THEIR MECHANIC BROKE A PART AND THEY HAD TO ORDER A NEW REPLACEMENT PART. IT IS NOW SEPT. 29, 2016 AND THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PART YET. THE NEXT ESTIMATED DATE THE DEALERSHIP MAY RECEIVE THE PART IS THE END OF OCTOBER. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THEIR PARKING LOT FOR 5 MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY THE END OF OCT WILL BE 6 MONTHS. THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER TELLS ME I HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DEALERSHIP BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON OR WHEN I MAY GET MY CAR BACK. I FEEL TOYOTA IS NOT BEING UPFRONT WITH INFORMATION AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE PEOPLE SHOULD KNOW MORE THAN THE INDIVIDUAL DEALERSHIPS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE IS INFORMATION FOR ME.

TAKATA RECALL: TOYOTA IS FREQUENTLY MAILING ME REMINDERS AND MAKING TELEPHONE CALLS ADVISING ME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE NEAREST DEALER TO REPAIR A DEFECT THAT COULD SPRAY BITS OF METAL AROUND THE CABIN. I AM ON THE "LIST" AT MY DEALER AND THEY TELL ME IT COULD BE TWO MONTHS OR LONGER BEFORE THEY GET THE PARTS. WHEN I CALLED THE TOYOTA RECALL PEOPLE TODAY THEY SAID AT ANOTHER DEALER THE ESTIMATED WAIT FOR PARTS WAS 14 WEEKS. HOW IS THIS ACCEPTABLE? I AM SURE THAT ALL OF THESE NOTICES ARE MERELY TO MEET SOME REQUIREMENT THAT THE NHTSA HAS PLACED ON THEM. WHY DON'T WE JUST FIX THE CAR!
