Toyota announces recall of certain nine to 13 year old models in the UK
Recall look up tool provides opportunity to check your vehicle
Toyota has announced it will recall certain older models produced from November 2000 to March 2004. It is working with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) to contact registered owners and keepers by letter to advise them of the procedure for taking their vehicle to an authorised Toyota repairer for the necessary checks to be done.
The issue potentially affects the following models: Toyota Corolla, Yaris, Avensis, Avensis Verso, Picnic and Camry. These vehicles will have ‘X’ to ‘54’ registration plate identifiers.
The concern relates to front passenger air bag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger air bag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in an increased risk of injury to the occupant.
Toyota has received five reports related to this issue, two in Japan and three in the US. Toyota has received no reports of injuries. There have been no reports of this fault in the UK.
Customer safety is of paramount importance to Toyota. Consequently, Toyota has decided to conduct a recall campaign to check the air bag inflator on affected cars.
