AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW
What Happened
The side curtain-shield-air bags in your vehicle are designed to deploy in a crash to protect you from injury. However, in certain models, the computer that controls these bags might be misprogrammed, causing them to inflate unexpectedly — even when there's no crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the side curtain-shield-air bags deploy without warning, it could cause injury to you or your passengers. This is because the bags could hit you or someone else in the vehicle, or even cause a distraction while driving.
Free Fix
Toyota will replace the faulty air bag control module with a new one that's correctly programmed, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety on the road.
