Air bags, air bag/restraint control moduleJan 17, 2020
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2011-2019 Corolla, 2011-2013 Matrix, 2012-2018 Avalon, and 2013-2018 Avalon Hybrid vehicles. During certain crashes, the air bag electronic control unit (ECU) may malfunction, possibly disabling the deployment of the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners.
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ECU and install a noise filter between the air bag control module and its wire harness, as necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk beginning March 2, 2020. A second letter notifying owners of the remedy repair will be mailed between March 16, 2020 and June 27, 2020. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 20TB03, 20TA03 and 20TA05.

During modification by SET to include accessories such as leather seat covers, seat heaters or headrest DVD systems, these vehicles may not have had the passenger seat occupant sensing system calibration tested. Without passing the calibration test, the occupant sensing system may not operate as designed.
If the front passenger seat occupant sensing system is out of calibration, the front passenger airbags may not deploy or they may deploy inappropriately for the passenger's size and position. This could increase the risk of personal injury during the event of a vehicle crash necessitating airbag deployment.
Southeast Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will test the sensitivity of the occupant detection sensors, and recalibrate them as necessary. The recall began on March 21, 2013. Owners may contact Southeast Toyota at 1-800-301-6859.

MY VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED IN A TIMELY MANOR. IT HAS BEEN WAY TOO LONG. TOYOTA CORPORATE WILL NOT WORK WITH ME, IN FACT, THEY HUNG UP ON ME TWICE ALREADY. THE DEALERSHIP KEEPS POINTING FINGERS BACK AT CORPORATE TO SOLVE THE ISSUE. CORPORATE IS TELLING THE CONSUMER THAT TAKATA IS TO BLAME.... THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE. THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE. WHY ISN'T THE GOVERNMENT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT BREWING AND IF I MUST PARTICIPATE IN IT, THEN I WILL. HOWEVER, WHY CAN'T THE GOVERNMENT FORCE THIS SCHEMING COMPANY TO REPLACE THE VEHICLES IF NOT FIXED IN A TIMELY MANNER? THE CALIFORNIA LEMON LAW (WHERE I LIVE) I THOUGHT COVERED THIS... BUT THE DEALERSHIP AND EVERYONE ELSE IS NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH IT. THEY ARE ALL POINTING FINGERS AT EACH OTHER AND NOTHING IS GETTING DONE. AT WHAT POINT DO I STRAIGHT UP SUE TOYOTA?

THE 16V340000 RECALL DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR RECALL OF 2011 COROLLAS THAT WERE SOLD AND REGISTERED IN ZONE C. YET MANY OWNERS LIVE IN THE ZONE A AREA FOR PART OF THE YEAR TYPICALLY FOR 4,5, OR 6 MONTHS OR MORE. IF THEY DID NOT CHANGE THE REGISTRATION TO FLORIDA FOR EXAMPLE THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE RECALLED YET WOULD HAVE BEEN SUBJECT TO ZONE A CONDITIONS FOR PART OF THE YEAR.
