  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 THIS REMEDY HAS NOT YET BEEN PERFORMED AFTER CONTACTING THE TOYOTA CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE CENTER AND BURNSVILLE (MN) TOYOTA SERVICE CENTER DIRECTLY 3 TIMES. I CONTACTED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER WHEN I FIRST RECEIVED THE LETTER ON 02/12, SPOKE TO PAM , AFTER SHE SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE CENTER, ADVISED ME THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED IN 2-3 DAYS. ON 02/21 I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND THE REP STATED THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED, SO SHE PUT IN A REQUEST AND ADVISED ME TO WAIT A COUPLE OF DAYS. I CALLED ON 02/26 DIRECTLY TO BURNSVILLE TOYOTA, SARAH SAID THE PARTS WERE NEVER ORDERED AND SHE WOULD "PUSH IT THROUGH" DURING OUR PHONE CALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DUE TO THE FACT I FEEL THAT I'VE BEEN FAILED THIS REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME. I'M WAITING TO GET MY OIL CHANGE DONE SAME DAY. I FEEL I HAVE BEEN NEGLECTED AND THIS NOTICE WAS TO INFORM ME OF AN IMPORTANT RECALL THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO PASSENGERS. PLEASE ADVISE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

    SUMMARY: THE SUBJECT VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATORS PRODUCED BY TAKATA. 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. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, STRIKING THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS, AND RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. REMEDY: THE REMEDY WILL CONSIST OF THE REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG INFLATOR OR THE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY, DEPENDING ON THE VEHICLE MODEL.
