The Hazard!

The subject vehicles are equipped with curtain shield air bags located in the left and right side roof rails. There is a possibility that the inflators could have a minute crack in the weld area. If an inflator separates, the curtain shield air bag could partially deploy, and, in limited circumstances, one or both sections of the inflator could be ejected from the roof rail into the interior of the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do...

As an owner of an involved vehicle, you will be contacted by registered letter requesting you to contact your nearest authorised Toyota Dealer to arrange a convenient time to have the repairs completed. Alternatively, contact Toyota's Customer Dialogue Centre to discuss. See details below.
