Recall Notice |
Summary:
In certain 2005 through
late 2006 Model Year Scion tC vehicles, the side impact
Seat-Bolster and Curtain Side Airbags may inadvertently deploy.
This condition can occur if the door for that side of the
vehicle is closed with a high rate of force while the vehicle’s
ignition is in the “On” position or within 90 seconds of turning
the ignition key from the “On” position to the “Off” position.
In the worst case, if the side impact Seat-Bolster and Curtain
Side Airbags inadvertently deploy, they could cause personal
injury if an occupant is seated on the same side of the vehicle
as the door that is closed with a high rate of force.
Remedy:
Owners of the involved
vehicles will receive a Special Service Campaign notification by
first class mail beginning in early November, 2006. Any Scion or
Toyota dealer will replace the Side Impact Airbag Sensors in
both the driver and passenger doors with improved ones at NO
CHARGE to the customer.

TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S VEHICLE SAFETY HOTLINE AT

Recall Notice |
Summary:
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER
ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR
BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY,
SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE
HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THIS
CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO
PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED
DURING A CRASH.
Consequence:
THIS MAY INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE
OCCUPANT IN THE INVOLVED SEATING POSITION IN THE EVENT OF A
CRASH.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE SPECIFIC SRS AIR
BAG. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING APRIL 2006. OWNERS
MAY CONTACT TOYOTA AT 1-888-270-9371, SCION AT 1-866-548-1851,
OR LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.
