Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors and Toyota are recalling certain 2003-2004 model year vehicles, including the Toyota Corolla, Corolla Matrix, and Pontiac Vibe, due to a defect in the supplemental restraint system (SRS) circuits. The circuits are susceptible to internal shorting, which may create abnormal current flow and increased heat that can damage the circuits. This defect could result in inadvertent deployment of the front airbags and/or seat belt pretensioners, increasing the risk of injury and the possibility of a vehicle crash.
Dealers will replace the airbag control module free of charge. Some owners previously received a supplemental harness containing an electrical filter installed between the airbag control module and its wire harness, but did not receive a new airbag control module; these owners will be re-notified about the replacement. Toyota owners may call 1-800-331-4331 and Pontiac owners may call 1-800-620-7668 for more information. The recall began on March 13, 2013, and the manufacturer has not yet provided a schedule for second notices.
