Manufacturer : TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.
Manufacturer’s Report Number : TOYOTA RECALL NO. 60B
AND LEXUS RECALL NO. 6LB
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06V096000
Mfg's Report Date : MAR 28, 2006
Component: AIR BAGS
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 133
Summary: On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. In this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the SRS system is activated during a crash.
Consequence: This may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the specific srs air bag. The recall is expected to begin during April 2006. Owners may contact Toyota at 1-888-270-9371, Scion at 1-866-548-1851, or lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
