Toyota recalls 145,000 Toyota, Lexus SUVs due to an airbag problem: See affected models
View Date:2024-12-23 11:13:17
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX vehicles due to a problem with the vehicles' airbags, the automaker said last Thursday.
The recall, which affects approximately 145,000 vehicles, is due to the curtain shield airbag on the driver's side not deploying as intended during certain crashes if the driver's window is rolled down, according to Toyota. If this occurs, the vehicles may not meet a federal safety standard, increasing the risk of injury during certain crashes.
Toyota said it is currently developing a remedy for this issue and that customers will be notified of this issue by the middle of August 2024.
Customers with additional questions are encouraged to call the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331 or the Lexus Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-255-3987.

Toyota also recalls Crown for cameras not displaying image
Earlier this month, the automaker recalled 13,077 of its 2023 Toyota Crown vehicles that are equipped with rearview and/or front view cameras.
In the NHTSA report, the automotive manufacturer said there was an issue caused by an insufficient laser welding which can lead to the camera cases separating. As a result, water may leak into the cameras and short circuit. The rearview and front view camera images may not display or show a distorted image.
For free Toyota dealers will inspect and replace the rearview and frontview cameras as necessary. Recall notification letters are expected to be delivered by July 30. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are 24TB08 and 24TA08.
