Toyota and Lexus Recall Certain 4Runner, Tundra, Sequoia, LX and GX Vehicles

TORONTO, ON., February 2, 2016 – Toyota Canada Inc. today announced it is conducting a safety recall of 6,962 Model Year 2005-2006 Toyota Sequoia; 2005 Tundra; 2004-2006 4Runner; 2003-2006 LX470; and 2004-2006 GX470 vehicles.

The involved vehicles are equipped with side Curtain-Shield-Airbags (CSAs) which deploy from the roof in the event of certain types of crashes. Due to improper programming in the airbag control modules, there is a possibility that, under certain specific and limited conditions shortly after startup, the CSAs and seat belt pretensioners could activate when not necessary. Unexpected activation of the CSAs could increase the risk of injury to the occupant.

All known owners of the involved vehicles will be notified by first class mail. Toyota and Lexus dealers will replace the airbag control module with one which has an improved programming at no cost to owners.

Information about automotive recalls, including but not limited to the list of involved vehicles, is subject to change over time. For the most up-do-date Safety Recall information on Toyota and Lexus vehicles, customers should check their vehicle’s status by visiting toyota.ca/recall or lexus.ca/recall and entering the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
