Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain Toyota vehicles

TORONTO, Ontario – December 20, 2023 – Toyota is conducting a safety recall involving certain 2022 - 2023 model year Toyota Corolla Cross vehicles. Approximately 3,812 vehicles are involved in this recall in Canada.

The subject vehicles were previously inspected under a prior recall. Due to a problem with the inspection process specified by Toyota, the inspection may not have identified certain vehicles requiring the remedy. Without the remedy, the front passenger airbag may not deploy as designed due to a manufacturing error in the instrument panel where the airbag is located. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain federal requirements, and there could be an increased risk of injury in a crash.

For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will re-inspect with an improved process, and, if necessary, replace the instrument panel at no cost to owners. Until the vehicle is inspected and the remedy is performed, if necessary, Toyota recommends that no one sit in the front passenger seat of an involved vehicle.

Toyota will notify affected owners about this issue by the middle of February 2024.
