What happened

Toyota Motor Corporation is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Toyota, Lexus, Scion, and Pontiac vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in specific high-heat and high-humidity regions, as well as certain 2007-2008 model year vehicles from additional states. The recalled vehicles are equipped with passenger frontal air bag inflators that may rupture due to propellant degradation after long-term exposure to humidity and temperature cycling. If an inflator ruptures during a crash, metal fragments may strike vehicle occupants and cause serious injury or death.

Toyota will notify owners of affected vehicles and arrange for dealers to replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator or air bag assembly at no charge. The recall began on December 6, 2016. Owners of Toyota or Lexus vehicles should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331, while owners of Pontiac Vibes should contact General Motors. The record does not specify additional steps an affected consumer should take beyond contacting the manufacturer.
