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 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.

STARTED CAR THIS MORNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK TO PARTS STORE AND HOOKED IT UP TO THE COMPUTER AND FOUND CODES (P2401, P043E, P043F, P2402, P2419) EVERYTHING I HAVE RESEARCHED COMES BACK TO EVAP CANISTER FAILURE, AND POSSIBLE WIRING FAILURE. MORE RESEARCH SHOWS THESE ISSUES CAUSING PEOPLE GETTING STRANDED AND OTHERS WITH NO PROBLEM OTHER THEN LIGHT, AND OTHERS WITH A STRONG GAS SMELL. IF THIS CAUSES A GAS SMELL, THEN A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD IS FORMED.

THIS HAPPENED ABOUT FOUR WEEKS APART WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS UNDER SIMILAR CONDITIONS. WE WERE SLOWING TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN TRAVELING 5-10 MPH AND WHEN WE APPLIED THE BRAKE, THE ENGINE REVED UP. WHEN IT HAPPENED TO ME THE THE CAR WOULDN'T STOP WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKE SO I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND THUS AVOIDED HITTING CAR AHEAD OF ME. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL TOYOTA DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR A DAY AND HALF AND SAID THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. THEY SAID I SHOULD REMOVE MY AFTER MARKET CAR MAT ( WHICH I HAVE) AND SUGGESTED THAT BOTH DRIVERS HAD APPLIED THE BRAKE AND ACCELORATOR AT THE SAME TIME. I THINK THIS IS HIGHLY UNLIKELY AS MY FOOT ISN'T WIDE ENOUGH TO DO BOTH UNLESS MY FOOT IS NEARLY OFF THE BRAKE. THE CAR MAT IN QUESTION HAS BEEN THE CAR FOR 6 PLUS YEARS AND IS A CUSTOM MADE ONE WHICH DOES NOT SLIP.
