What is the AIR BAGS recall for the 2006 LEXUS GS? (Campaign #06V096000)

There's a problem with the air bag inflators in your vehicle. They might not work properly because they weren't assembled correctly, which could mean they don't have enough heating agents to inflate the air bag when needed. If this happens, you might get hurt more seriously in a crash if the air bag doesn't work as it should. Toyota, Scion, or Lexus will replace the air bag inflator for free. You should contact them at 1-888-270-9371, 1-866-548-1851, or 1-800-255-3987 to schedule the fix.
