Teekay Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I was looking at one CarVX.jp report and under recall it says as below. I'm trying to make sense of it and understand its seriousness - any help will be appreciated. "In the inflator (inflation device) of the passenger airbag, the prevention of moisture absorption of the gas generating agent is inappropriate, so that the gas generating agent may deteriorate due to repeated changes in temperature and humidity. For this reason, the inflator container may be damaged when the airbag is deployed." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teekay Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 Is this fairly common thing? Can anything be done in UK to address this? Toyota uk won't do anything by default? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF a members vehicle is subject to a recall that has not been carried out Toyota UK will send a notification / request to Toyota Japan. If Toyota Japan verify the claim Toyota Japan will fund Toyota UK to do the work. I have read the approval process can take quite a while ! Toyota UK can also check through official Toyota channels whether there are any outstanding recalls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphard Club Posted June 20, 2022 Share Posted June 20, 2022 You may find by checking on the japan site (see forum thread on this i made) you can check. More than likely the car has already been done as the MLIT test is reporting it needs doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
