What Toyota cars are recalled for airbags?

Toyota has issued several recalls in recent years related to defective airbags that can pose a safety risk to drivers and passengers. These recalls have affected a number of Toyota's popular car models, including the Corolla, Camry, and RAV4.


Takata Airbag Recalls


One of the largest and most high-profile recalls involved defective Takata airbag inflators. Takata airbags were found to have a propensity to explode upon deployment, potentially shooting metal shrapnel at vehicle occupants. This issue affected millions of vehicles across multiple automakers, including Toyota. Toyota has recalled over 10 million vehicles in the U.S. alone due to the Takata airbag defect.


Other Airbag-Related Recalls


In addition to the Takata airbag recalls, Toyota has also issued recalls for other airbag-related issues, such as:


  • Improperly installed airbag sensors that could fail to deploy the airbag in a crash

  • Airbag control modules that could malfunction and cause the airbags to deploy unexpectedly

  • Airbag inflators that could rupture and injure occupants


These recalls have spanned a range of Toyota models, including the Corolla, Camry, RAV4, Sienna, and Tundra, among others.


Addressing the Recalls


Toyota has worked to address these airbag-related recalls by notifying affected vehicle owners and providing free repairs at authorized Toyota dealerships. The automaker has also collaborated with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to ensure the recalls are handled properly and in a timely manner.


Owners of affected Toyota vehicles are encouraged to check the company's recall website or contact their local Toyota dealer to determine if their vehicle is part of a recall and to schedule a repair appointment.
