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.

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.

Air bags, Aug 24, 2017
TAKATA RECALL - NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V006000 THE AIRBAG RECALL HAS CAUSED SIGNIFICANT STRESS IN BEING ABLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT ANY PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE AND TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE ANY TEMPORARY REMEDY IN REGARDS TO THE AIRBAG RECALL WHICH IS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. ALSO UNPROFESSIONAL IS THE LACK OF TOYOTAS RESPONSE TO ANY OF THE 247 COMPLAINTS (LISTED ON THIS WEBSITE). THE RECALL NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 17V006000 WAS ISSUED JANUARY 9, 2017. IT IS INCOMPREHENSIBLE THAT A MANUFACTURER COULD NOT DELIVER REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR OVER EIGHT MONTHS NOW. WE ARE A FAMILY OF TOYOTA OWNERS. WE HAVE 6 TOYOTAS, ALL OF WHICH ARE DIFFERENT MODELS. THE REAL TEST OF A MANUFACTURER IS THE RELIABILITY OF THE PRODUCT. TOYOTA HAS FAILED TO RESOLVE THIS RECALL TIMELY. WE WILL BE FILING TO JOIN IN THE CLASS ACTION SETTLEMENT, HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT MONEY CAN NOT BUY. INCONVENIENCE IS ONE OF THEM. WHILE I UNDERSTAND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES MAY NEED TO BE EVALUATED AND COMPANIES ARE CONSISTENTLY IMPROVING PRODUCTS, IT STILL REMAINS THAT TOYOTA HAS NOT RESOLVED THIS TIMELY AND WILL RESULT IN A LOSS OF REPUTATION.
