What happened

Toyota is recalling one 2016 Toyota 4Runner manufactured November 1, 2016 and one 2017 Lexus GX460 manufactured November 16, 2016 due to a defect in the passenger side air bag inflator module. The affected vehicles are equipped with Takata PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflators that may have been manufactured without ignition booster tablets. If the air bag deploys during a crash, it may not fully inflate, which could increase the risk of injury to passengers and violates federal safety standards.

Affected owners should contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota dealers will replace the passenger side air bag modules free of charge. Toyota notified dealers of this recall on December 15, 2016, and assigned recall numbers G06 and GLR to this issue.
