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.

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.

Air bags, frontal, sensor/control module-inactiveJan 16, 2013
Southeast Toyota Distributors, LLC (SET) is recalling certain models interspersed through model years 2009 through 2013 as follows: model year 2009-2012 Tacoma, 4Runner, Camry, Camry Hybrid, Prius, and RAV4; model year 2009-2010 Avalon, FJ Cruiser, and Highlander Hybrid; model year 2010-2013 model year Corolla, Sienna and Tundra; model year 2009-2013 Highlander and Venza; model year 2012 Prius V; and model year 2010-2012 Sequoia. 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.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG AND I SPOKE EDDIE, THE NIGHT SERVICE MANAGER AT MARINA DEL REY TOYOTA AND HE SAYS THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THERE IS NO PART NUMBER FOR THE REPLACEMENT. TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY. THE NOTICE SAYS THERE'S A RISK THAT "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." THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED ON JANUARY 9, 2017, IT'S ALMOST TWO MONTHS OLD AND I JUST RECEIVED THE NOTICE. ON TOP OF THAT IT'S COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT TOYOTA DOES NOT HAVE A REMEDY AFTER ALMOST 2 MONTHS. I WOULD LIKE A REPLACEMENT AND FIX OF THIS ISSUE ASAP. PLEASE HELP.

TAKATA RECALL: WHILE WE APPRECIATE BEING CONTACTED ABOUT THE POTENTIALLY LETHAL SAFETY HAZARD FROM THE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN OUR TOYOTA, IT'S UNACCEPTABLE TO BE TOLD NOT TO HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL A FIX IS MADE AVAILABLE. THE DANGERS OF THE TAKAGA BAGS HAVE BEEN KNOWN FOR MANY MONTHS, IF NOT MORE THAN A YEAR. WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO ARRANGE FOR A REPLACEMENT? NO TIME FRAME HAS BEEN PROVIDED AS TO HOW LONG WE MUST WAIT, WHILE WE CAN'T CARRY AROUND A FRONT PASSENGER. MY WIFE AND I COMMUTE TO WORK EVERYDAY. ONE OF US IS SUPPOSED TO SIT IN THE BACK SEAT? WE HAVE CHILDREN WE MUST TAXI AROUND. SINCE MOST CARS ARE NOT AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL, THEN SURELY THERE ARE OTHER, SAFE AIR BAGS AVAILABLE, WHICH TOYOTA COULD INSTALL IMMEDIATELY. WHEN A SAFETY RECALL OCCURS, YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO TAKE YOUR CAR IN RIGHT AWAY AND GET IT FIXED, NOT WAIT SOME UNDETERMINED TIME DOWN THE ROAD. WHY ISN'T TOYOTA REQUIRED TO RESOLVE THIS MATTER RIGHT AWAY?
Air bags, Feb 25, 2017
TAKATA RECALL. YESTERDAY, I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FROM TOYOTA REGARDING MY VEHICLE'S POSSIBLE DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. IT RECOMMENDS THAT UNTIL TOYOTA CAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG, THAT I SHOULD ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. TOYOTA'S RECOMMENDATION IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE AND SHOULD NOT WAIVE ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO ITS CUSTOMERS. TOYOTA HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE SINCE AT LEAST 2015, SO IT IS UNCLEAR WHY THEY CANNOT AGGRESSIVELY REPLACE THEIR CUSTOMERS' AIRBAG IMMEDIATELY TWO YEARS LATER. TO SUGGEST I SHOULD NOT USE ONE OF THE SEATS IN MY VEHICLE, PARTICULARLY WITH A FAMILY OF FOUR, SEEMS COMPLETELY UNREASONABLE. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TOYOTA, AND I HOPE THAT THE COMPANY WILL MAKE MORE OF AN EFFORT TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS IN THE FUTURE.

TAMARA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE TO NOT HAVE ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS COMPLETED. I EXPLAINED THAT THE CAR IS USELESS SINCE I CANNOT FIT ME MY WIFE AND TWO KIDS IN CAR SEATS INTO THE CAR WITHOUT USING THE FRONT SEAT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS TO NOT HAVE A REPAIR FOR A CAR AND BE TOLD NOT TO USE A CAR I PAID A LOT OF MONEY FOR WITH NO REMEDY FROM THE MANUFACTURER.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FOR MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2012 SAYING THAT THERE IS NO CURRENT REMEDY. INFORMATION ONLINE INDICATES THAT THE AIRBAG PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED JANUARY 9. THERE IS NO INDICATION OF THE TIMEFRAME OF A REMEDY, AND THERE'S NO OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE LETTER SUGGESTS THAT I NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL I HEAR FROM THEM. AN OFFER TO DISCONNECT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN THE INTERIM WOULD HAVE MADE MORE SENSE. I'LL BE PURSUING THAT WITH A LOCAL DEALERSHIP, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OFFERED CONSIDERING THE DANGER IS POSSIBLE "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH."

WE NEED IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY, OR FOR TOYOTA TO PAY FOR A SAFE RENTAL UNTIL THEY CAN FIX THE PROBLEM.
