What happened

Toyota Motor Corporation is recalling certain 2009-2013 Scion xB, Toyota Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Sienna, Yaris, 4Runner, Lexus IS250, IS350, IS250C, IS350C, ES350, IS-F, GX460, and Pontiac Vibe vehicles based on geographic zones across the United States and its territories. The recalled vehicles are equipped with passenger frontal air bag inflators that may explode due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes. If the air bag deploys in a crash, the inflator explosion could result in sharp metal fragments striking occupants and causing serious injury or death.

Owners of affected vehicles should contact their respective manufacturer's customer service: Toyota owners should call 1-800-331-4331, Scion owners should contact Toyota at the same number, Lexus owners should contact Toyota at the same number, and Pontiac owners should call 1-800-762-2737. Dealers will replace either the front passenger air bag inflator or the entire air bag assembly depending on the vehicle model. The recall began January 29, 2018.
