What happened

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2002-2017 Toyota and Lexus vehicles that previously had driver or passenger frontal airbag inflators replaced under an earlier recall. The replacement inflators may explode due to propellant degradation from long-term exposure to high humidity, temperature, and temperature cycling. An inflator explosion can send sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. The affected models include various 4Runner, Tundra, Corolla, RAV4, Sequoia, Sienna, Scion xB, Yaris, and multiple Lexus models (IS-F, ES350, GX460, SC430, IS250, IS350, and IS250C/IS350C).

Toyota will notify owners of the recall, which began November 20, 2019. Depending on the specific vehicle model, dealers will replace the front driver inflator, front passenger airbag inflator, the airbag assembly, or the front passenger airbag sub-assembly and inflator. Owners can contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371 or Lexus customer service at 1-800-255-3987 to inquire whether their vehicle is affected. Toyota's recall numbers are J0A, J0B, and J0C, while Lexus recall numbers are JLI, JLJ, and JLK.
