About the Takata Compulsory Recalls

Certain Toyota models have been recalled for front driver or front passenger airbag inflators that were manufactured by Takata.

Toyota takes the safety of our customers seriously and we are working hard to rectify all affected vehicles, prioritising vehicle rectification based on the location and age of the inflator and parts availability.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused by the Takata airbag recalls.

What is the defect with the airbags?

In involved vehicles, the non-desiccated propellant that inflates the driver's or passenger's front airbag (model dependent) could absorb moisture and degrade. This is either due to deficiencies during the manufacturing process (alpha), or after prolonged exposure to high humidity and fluctuating high temperatures (beta). If the inflator propellant degrades and the vehicle is involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force, causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle.

Is my Toyota affected?

Affected vehicles are determined by the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). To check if your Toyota is affected by the Takata recalls, please enter your VIN here.
