Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2010-2016 4Runner, 2003-2006 Tundra, 2003-2013 Corolla, 2009-2010 Corolla Matrix, 2004-2005 RAV4, 2002-2007 Sequoia, 2011-2013 Sienna, 2008-2012 Scion xB, 2008-2009 Lexus IS-F, 2007-2012 Yaris and Lexus ES350, 2010-2017 Lexus GX460, 2002-2010 Lexus SC430, 2006-2012 Lexus IS250 and IS350 and 2010-2015 Lexus IS250C and IS350C vehicles. These vehicles had their driver or passenger frontal air bag inflators previously replaced under a prior recall using inflators of the same design. The inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, temperature and temperature cycling.

Risk. An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy. 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.

Defect. Toyota Motor Company (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2009-2011 Tundra, Sequoia, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Scion xB, 2008-2011 Highlander and Highlander Hybrid, 2007 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2009 Camry and Camry Hybrid, 2006-2011 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, and 2009-2010 Scion xD and Pontiac Vibe vehicles. During the manufacturing of the Power Window Master Switch (PWMS), grease lubricant may have been inconsistently applied to the sliding electrical contacts.

Risk. If the sliding electrical contacts are not protected by lubricant, debris and moisture that get into the switch may cause a short circuit and the switch assembly may overheat and melt, increasing the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the switch, applying a lubricant if no abnormality is found. If abnormality is found, the PWMS circuit board will be replaced, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 20, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Air Bags › Frontal › Driver Side › Inflator Module14V168000
Filed Apr 9, 20141,486,413 vehiclesToyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing

Defect. Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.

Risk. If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.

Remedy. Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable. General Motors sent notices to the Pontiac Vibe owners on September 15, 2014, that a remedy is available. The recall began on October 27, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-762-2737.

Defect. Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles manufactured August 22, 2005, through May 12, 2010, and 2008-2010 Scion xD vehicles manufactured April 4, 2007, through May 12, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the springs used for the seat rails on the driver's seat and the seat rails of the front passenger seat of three-door models may break.

Risk. If the spring breaks, the seat may not lock in position. In the event of a vehicle crash, the seat could move increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat rail, and replace it with a new one, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 3, 2014. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331.

I would like to point out that both Driver and Police Officer safety may be improved if all vehicle designers and manufacturers were to disrupt the convention of locating caches for the drivers vehicle registration information at or below driver shoulder height. It may be a fairly inconsequential to implement a design standard so that the paper copy of a drivers registration and insurance would be neatly and preferentially stored at a height relativistic of the drivers shoulders so that every driver would naturally move through the motion of raising their hands into the air to retrieve requested registration information

Malfunctioning components 1. Door locks do not lock all the time when the lock button is pressed. 2. Randomly I will find my doors unlocked, when I closed them when I got out. 3. Doors unlock by themselves and that poses a problem for me and my family. To be able to figure out the issue I have to take it to the dealer where they charge an arm and a leg to diagnose the issue, due to Covid-19 and the hardship it has caused my family I don’t have the funds to do that. Somebody has to push the dealers to help the consumers out for a change. Thank you.

NOVEMBER 10, 2017 - I WAS T-BONED BY A MOTORIST (WHO RAN THE LIGHT) ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WHILE ATTEMPTING A LEFT HAND TURN THRU AN INTERSECTION. THE 2010 TOYOTA YARIS I WAS DRIVING WAS TOTALED BY THE COLLISION ($8,266.72 OF DAMAGE TO THE DRIVERS SIDE). THE YARIS SIDE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE YARIS'S LEFT DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS COLLAPSED INTO THE YARIS CABIN WITH ENOUGH FORCE TO BREAK MY SAMSUNG NOTE 4 PHONE DISPLAY & DAMAGE ITS INTERNAL SOLID STATE DRIVE. THE SAMSUNG NOTE 4 WAS ENCASED IN AN OTTER BOX AND ATTACHED TO MY LEFT HIP VIA OTTER BELT CLIP DURING THE TIME OF ACCIDENT. MY HEAD STRUCK A HARD SURFACE IN THE YARIS, RESULTING IN A LARGE HEMATOMA ON MY LEFT FRONTAL LOBE. TOYOTA INVESTIGATED AND FOUND THAT WITHIN THE SPAN OF 68 MILLISECONDS, THE LATERAL DELTA-V AIRBAG SENSOR WAS ACCELERATED FROM 0.0 MPH TO 11.1 MPH. YET THE SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. PER TOYOTA, SINCE THE SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS DEEMED IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND DID NOT DESIGNATE THE COLLISION WARRANTED DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS, EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED NORMALLY. WHEN QUERIED WHAT THRESHOLD WAS REQUIRED TO DEPLOY THE AIRBAGS (NOTING THE INSTANTANEOUS LATERAL ACCELERATION OF A 2300+ LBS VEHICLE FROM 0 MPH TO 11 MPH WAS INSUFFICIENT), TOYOTA INSISTED I HIRE MY OWN ENGINEERS TO RESEARCH.

BECAUSE OF THE DANGER TO A PASSENGER IN THE RIGHT SEAT WE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO USE, THIS VEHICLE EXCEPT FOR DRIVER ONLY USE. I FEEL IT IS TAKING WAY TOO LONG FOR THE REPAIR TO TAKE PLACE. I DON'T FEEL LIKE TOYOTA OR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS DOING ENOUGH TO GET THIS REPAIR COMPLETED. I LIVE IN A TROPICAL CLIMATE AND MY CAR IS SIX YEARS OLD BOTH OF THESE CONDITIONS SHOULD PUT ME ON A PRIORITY LIST. I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM YOU AS TO WHAT IS BEING DONE TO HELP ME. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A CALL FROM TOYOTA ABOUT THE TAKATA INFLATORS . I WAS TOLD NOT TO USE DE PASSENGER SEAT. EVERY TIME I GO FOR A CHANGE OIL, I ASKED THEM WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO REPLACE IT, AND THEY JUST ANSWER THAT THEY WILL SEND A LETTER TO LET ME KNOW. IT'S BEEN A WHILE AND HAVE NOT HEAR FROM THEM. IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE LONGER DISTANCES KNOWING THAT. THANKS FOR YOUR HELP ON THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL IT'S BEEN MONTHS. WHAT IS THE DELAY? MILLIONS ARE BEING INCONVENIENCED BECAUSE SOMEONE ISN'T WILLING TO SPEND THE NECESSARY MONEY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. FINES ARE DEFINITELY IN ORDER AS WELL AS SOME FINANCIAL RECOMPENSE TO OWNERS FOR THE DELAY AND INCONVENIENCE.

TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF DRIVE WHEN SPEED REACHES 60MPH. IT SLIPS BACK IN GEAR WHEN THE DRIVER EITHER WIGGLES THE SHIFT LEVER OR WHEN DRIVER SHIFTS INTO 3RD GEAR. SHIFTING INTO 3RD GEAR USUALLY WORKS BUT SOMETIMES REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO REMAIN IN 3RD GEAR FOR A WHILE BEFORE SHIFTING BACK INTO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL: NOTHING HAPPENED TO MY AIRBAGS HOWEVER I LIVE IN SOUTH FLORIDA AND I AM WORRIED BECAUSE IN THE RECALL LETTER IT SAYS THAT "TIME IN SERVICE UNTIL SIGNIFICANT PROPELLANT DEGRADATION MAY OCCUR PROJECTED AT BETWEEN 6-9YEARS" AND I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE 6 YEARS, PLUS LIVE IN ONE OF THE HOTTEST PART OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THIS YEAR WE HAD RECORD HIGH TEMPERATURES. THE RECALL LETTER STATES THAT "THE PROPELLANT IN THESE INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE AFTER PROLONGED EXPOSURE TO HIGH ABSOLUTE HUMIDITY AND FLUCTUATING HIGH TEMPERATURES". MIAMI HAS THE MOST HUMID AND IN THE HIGHEST TEMPERATURES IN THE COUNTRY.

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Oct 17, 2019. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
