Toyota Announces a Voluntary United States Recall of About 314,000 Toyota and Lexus Vehicles on November 12: Takata Front Passenger Airbag Propellant Can Degrade Over Time, and Dealers Will Replace Inflators or Assemblies Free of Charge
Toyota announced on November 12 a voluntary safety recall involving approximately 314,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles in the United States. Toyota says the front passenger airbag made by Takata contains an inflator with propellant that can degrade over time in certain temperature and humidity conditions.
A degraded inflator can rupture when the airbag deploys and send metal fragments into the cabin, the company said. For all involved vehicles, Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the front passenger airbag inflator or replace the airbag assembly, depending on the model, free of charge.
Toyota United States release does not list the models or model years involved, an owner letter date or a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration campaign number. Owners can check their vehicle identification number on the Toyota recall page or in the administration recall lookup.
The administration has confirmed that 28 people in the United States have been killed when defective Takata inflators exploded, and at least 400 more are alleged to have been injured. The Takata recalls span 19 automakers and about 67 million inflators, in what the administration describes as the largest and most complicated automotive recalls in United States history.
