  8. Air bags, frontal, driver side, inflator moduleApr 9, 2014

    Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.

    If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.

    Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

    An inaccurate label could lead to owners overloading their vehicles and tires. An overloaded vehicle can result in a tire failure which may result in a vehicle crash, personal injury, or property damage.

    Southeast Toyota will notify owners and provide a corrected label with instructions concerning its installation. A small group of the affected vehicles will need additonal remedies which are still being developed. The recall began on May 28, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

    TAKATA RECALL - TOYOTA HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A MAY 23 AIRBAG RECALL (#16V340) AND IT IS IN THE HIGHEST-RISK GEOGRAPHICAL ZONE. THE LETTER THAT I RECEIVED ADVISED ME TO NOT OPERATE MY VEHICLE WITH ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AND TOYOTA HAS STILL NOT MADE A REMEDY AVAILABLE TO ME. I AM STILL UNABLE TO HAVE A NORMAL NUMBER OF PASSENGERS IN MY CAR, FOR FEAR OF INJURY. I THINK THAT A REMEDY HAS NOT BEEN MADE AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER.

    "TAKATA RECALL". VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN MAY. TOYOTA CUSTOMER SERVICE SAYS THEY ARE UNABLE TO HELP BECAUSE THEY HAVE TOO MANY OTHER VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THEY SUGGEST I "CALL AROUND TO OTHER TOYOTA DEALERSHIPS" UNTIL I FIND ONE THAT IS NOT OVERWHELMED WITH RECALLED VEHICLES.

    IN MAY 2016, VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA WERE RECALLED. ACCORDING TO TAKATA, THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES. DEGRADED PROPELLANT CAN CAUSE INFLATOR RUPTURE DURING AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED OR HAS BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER.

    TAKATA RECALL OF PASSENGER AIRBAG DUE TO DEGRADATION OF MATERIAL IN HOT/HUMID CLIMATES. RECALL WAS ISSUED 5/23/16, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE AND NOT EVEN A PROJECTED TIMEFRAME OF WHEN ONE WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME, NO ONE CAN SIT IN MY FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, AND I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT I SET ON IT, OR ELSE THE CONSEQUENCES COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THIS IS NERVE WRACKING AND INCONVENIENT. I FEEL.THAT TOYOTA SHOULD BE INVESTING THEIR RESOURCES IN DEVELOPING A REMEDY ASAP AND AM WONDERING WHAT THE HOLD UP IS.
