If your vehicle is operating smoothly, it’s natural to assume it is safe. However, a major safety defect currently poses a significant risk to drivers and passengers across the country, regardless of how well the car runs.

A massive airbag recall is underway, affecting vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2016. Major automotive brands, including Toyota, Ford, and Volkswagen, are among those impacted by this safety recall.

The Risk
Affected Vehicles are equipped with a Driver’s front airbag inflator. Toyota believes Front Driver Airbag inflators may have an increased potential for moisture intrusion over time. Moisture intrusion could potentially make the inflator assembly more susceptible to rupture during a crash. An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring the vehicle occupants..

This is not a minor maintenance issue; it is a serious safety concern that requires immediate attention.

Your Safety Is Covered
The good news is that over 4000 customers whose vehicles are affected have already replaced these airbags replaced at no cost. Replacement of the defective parts is covered under the safety recall campaign. There are no warnings that this condition exists. However, the condition does not cause the airbag to activate when it should not. Also, the front driver airbag is designed to inflate only in certain moderate to severe crashes.

So, we encourage you to visit any of our Branches or Authorized Service Centre. Our team will be available to check your vehicle and have the airbag replaced if your vehicle is affected.
