Product description
Passenger Side Front Airbag Inflator
Reasons the product is recalled
Toyota Corolla ZZE122:
some of these vehicles are fitted with an airbag system that could experience electrical shorting due to exposure to high inductive electrical noise in the electrical circuit, resulting in damage to the Airbag Sensor Assembly (ECU). This could cause airbag warning lights to illuminate and the front airbag(s) and/or seat belt pretensioner(s) to become deactivated, and/or cause those airbag(s) to deploy inadvertently. For more information see recall PRA 2018/17141.
The hazards to consumers
Toyota Corolla ZZE122:
The combination of the faulty Takata airbag inflator and the ECU defect results in an increased risk of a crash, serious injury or death.
What consumers should do
Owners of affected vehicles are advised that the vehicle is under 'critical recall’. It is recommended that you stop driving the vehicle and immediately arrange for airbag replacement as the vehicle has a heightened risk of causing injury or death. The critical recall category applies to alpha airbags and also includes other airbags specified by Toyota.
Toyota will offer to arrange for your vehicle to either be towed to the place of replacement or for a mobile technician to be sent to the vehicle (or some similar arrangement), so that you do not have to drive the vehicle in order to receive a replacement airbag.
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Toyota dealership or Toyota’s head office directly by phoning 1800 987 366 or emailing guestexperience@toyota.com.au to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.
