What Happened
The air bag control module in your Land Cruiser, Tundra, Sequoia, 4Runner, or GX470 is a computer that helps the side curtain airbags deploy correctly. In some cases, this module might be programmed incorrectly, causing the airbags to deploy unnecessarily.
Risk if Unfixed
If the side airbags deploy while you're driving, it can be disorienting and potentially increase the risk of injury to you or your passengers.
Free Fix
Your Toyota dealer will replace the faulty air bag control module with a new one that's programmed to work correctly — at no cost to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.
