• Recall 2019523 [Canada]: Airbag
  Issue: on certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger-front airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Safety risk: if the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury. Corrective action: owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to have the passenger-front airbag inflator or airbag module replaced. Note: the canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected. Additional note: vehicles may have had the original front passenger airbag inflator replaced as a "like-for-like" replacement under recall 2016-103 (toyota recall #'s src 241 & src 242) as a temporary remedy while evaluating a permanent remedy. These vehicles will receive the permanent remedy passenger airbag assembly under this recall.

• Recall 2016103 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: this recall supersedes recalls 2013113, 2014224, 2015197 and 2015269. Correction: all vehicles having not received a replacement inflator as part of the previous recall will now have a replacement inflator installed by dealers. For matrix model vehicles, dealers may replace the front passenger airbag assembly with one equipped with a newly specified inflator.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

• Air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA15001

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

• Frame corrosion investigation # PE09049

  This investigation was opened based on 20 reports of model year (my) 2000 and 2001 vehicles experiencing severe corrosion of the frame, resulting in either under-body mounted spare tire separation or rear brake failure.The failure report counts shown above are for my 2000 and 2001 vehicles only.By letter of november 16, 2009 toyota has notified the agency that it will conduct a safety recall (09v-444) of approximately 110,000 model year (my) 2000 through 2003 tundra vehicles.The affected recalled vehicles were sold or are currently registered in the district of columbia and the states of ct, de, il, in, ky, ma, md, me, mi, mn, nh, nj, ny, oh, pa, ri, va, vt, wi, wv.Toyota alleges high amounts of "road salts" are used in these areas and excessive corrosion of the rear cross-member (to which the spare tire is mounted) can occur and cause the spare tire to separate from the vehicle and can also lead to rear brake failure.Toyota stated: "toyota has tentatively concluded that the root cause is a combination of factors, including usage in areas where road salt is applied, inadequate vehicle maintenance (i.E., not following the recommendations in the owners manual), the design of the rear cross-member, and manufacturing issues."the design of the rear cross-member is such that it is open on the top side and susceptible to accumulation of dirt, water and road salt.Manufacturing issues of the rear cross-member related to the coating process also affect its corrosion resistance.Toyota also states that owners of my 2000 through 2003 vehicles in states not covered by the recall will be notified on how to obtain the same inspection and repair as the recalled vehicles, free of charge.Further toyota states: "please note that while toyota has not determined a defect exists in 2004 through 2006 my tundra vehicles, toyota plans on initiating a field action in the near future to prevent future corrosion on those vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the affected region at no cost to the owner."by letter of january 8, 2010 toyota has notified the agency that it amended its defect information report for safety recall 09v-444 to include the "fuel tank mounting system" (i.E., fuel tank support straps and fuel tank mounting cross-members) in the safety recall.Toyota states: "toyota has not decided that the fuel tank mounting system in those vehicles contains a safety-related defect within the meaning of federal motor vehicle safety law.Rather, toyota is taking this action at odis request and to avoid future disagreement with odi with respect to this issue."my 2007 and newer tundra vehicles are not included in any of toyotas actions as the rear cross-member in those vehicles have been redesigned so that it is open on the bottom.The actions taken by toyota are sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that a safety-related defect does not exist in the subject vehicles.The agency will take further action if warranted by the circumstances.

• Lower ball joint failure investigation # EA06014

  In a letter dated january 18, 2007, toyota notified nhtsa of a safety defect in model year (my) 2004 through 2006 toyota tundra and my 2004 through 2007 toyota sequoia vehicles produced between september 15, 2003 and november 17, 2006 (nhtsa recall no. 07v-013). According to toyota, ¿in the front suspension lower ball joint on the subject vehicles, due to possible improper finishing of the ball joint, such as the aspect of the ball stud surface, some ball joints may experience an incidental deterioration of the internal lubrication. This may cause the ball joint to wear and loosen prematurely, which could result in increased steering effort, reduced vehicle self-centering, and noise in the front suspension. In extreme cases, if the vehicle is continuously operated in this condition, the lower ball joint may separate from the knuckle and could cause loss of vehicle control.¿toyota will instruct owners to return their vehicles to any toyota dealer for replacement of the front suspension lower ball joints. This engineering analysis has been closed, as toyota is recalling the affected vehicles.Odi will monitor the effectiveness of the remedy and take further action if warranted.

• Lower ball joint separation investigation # RQ06005

  The office of defects investigations (odi) opened rq06-005 based on four consumer reports of alleged ball joint failure. The complaints allege that a front suspension ball joint separated while driving, which caused the suspension to collapse and resulted in a loss of vehicle control. All of these complaints involved the failure of a lower tension-type ball joint. During the investigation there were 39 (36.7 per 100,000 vehicles) complaints and 74 (69.6 per 100,000 vehicles) warranty claims for the 2004 model year (my) toyota tundra. Further analysis showed that the average failure mileage was 54,025 miles, and that of the 109 unique ball joint separation incidents, 64 (133 per 100,000 vehicles) were on four-wheel drive vehicles, which make up approximately 45% of the 2004 my population (106,346 vehicles). The remaining 55% are two-wheel drive vehicles which experienced a total of 45 (77 per 100,000 vehicles) ball joint separations. Also, throughout the investigation there surfaced additional failures which have prompted odi to upgrade this investigation to an engineering analysis and widen the scope of the affected population to include 2004-2005 my.This recall query has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea06-014) to further investigate this issue to assess the safety-related consequences, and to determine the scope of the affected population.

I had the dealer take my truck in for the frame recall. I asked for them to replace the frame because i was not comfortable with how they were handling it. Per the service record they filled in perforations and “undercoated. I did not believe that filling in existing perforations was the safest way to handle this. After brining the truck to a shop to check the steering we were told that they wouldn’t even put it up on a lift. The steering issue was that the rack and pinion steering was literally falling out due to the rusted frame. We drove this vehicle home and parked it. About a week later the spare tire fell out right onto our driveway. Needless to say, i am certain there are many more toyota trucks out there ready to fall apart on the road. We contacted toyota corporate several times to try to rectify this mishandling of our recall. We called and sent certified letters. We asked to share the cost of a new frame and they said no. We then had the truck towed to a shop who could do the work. They ordered a frame from toyota only to be contacted 2 months later saying that the frame was discontinued and they wouldn’t be sending it after all (we were willing to pay fir the frame and install because we had a useless and unsafe vehicle. We finally found a shop over an hour away who could rebuild/fabricate the frame and replace the fallen out steering etc. We had that truck towed about 60 miles away to have this work completed. This mishandling of the recall by toyota and their lack of customer care cost me a whopping $17,000! Again, unsafe tundras out there for sure. Please advise…this is the 2nd time i’ve filled out this form and never heard anything. Thank you in advance.

I have tried for months to get this airbag replaced with no luck. I keep getting these recall notices with instructions i try to follow and here's the results so far: after texting "fix" to 877-427-0285 several times, nothing happened. Months later, i get some bizarre text from a number i don't recognize asking for my address saying i need to respond within 10 minutes. After asking who it was, another number texts me asking for the same info with no explanation as to who they are and they refused to say. I've called toyota of tumwater a few times and, at first, they couldn't schedule me for an appointment until some two months out. In the most recent call they needed my home address and phone number, which i'm not inclined to give but did in hopes of getting this resolved, but then they needed my full vin. If that's the case, why isn't it on the [xxx] recall notice? You listed the last 8 digits so clearly you have it. I texted "fix" to the number listed again this morning and finally get a response from "cindy" who asks for either the full vin or the recall id. I share the recall id and told i need to send the full vin. After a lot of back and forth, i'm told there's no recall option and i need to drive to another town. What do you mean there's no recall option? Why are these instructions included in these mailings? Do you people think we memorize vin numbers? You say this repair is "urgent" "serious injury" "death" then why are there so many difficult steps involved in getting this [xxx] thing replaced? Three easy steps to schedule is an outright lie. I've never had this much trouble with a recall. I've never had to provide a vin just to get a [xxx] appointment. I need help getting this resolved.

I have tried for months to get this airbag replaced with no luck. I keep getting these recall notices with instructions i try to follow and here's the results so far: after texting "fix" to 877-427-0285 several times, nothing happened. Months later, i get some bizarre text from a number i don't recognize asking for my address saying i need to respond within 10 minutes. After asking who it was, another number texts me asking for the same info with no explanation as to who they are and they refused to say. I've called toyota of tumwater a few times and, at first, they couldn't schedule me for an appointment until some two months out. In the most recent call they needed my home address and phone number, which i'm not inclined to give but did in hopes of getting this resolved, but then they needed my full vin.

Vehicle's acceleration became uncontrollable. In addition, the brakes and the antilock system seem to failed. The vehicle was in drive and proceeding down an incline, travelling about 30mph when the unintended acceleration occurred.

Vehicle began to accelerate down a steep hill and no matter what i tried to do to stop the vehicle nothing happened. It just kept accelerating. Lost control of vehicle, and was unable to negotiate the right hand turn. Vehicle slammed into a dirt embankment, then rolled over and reversed it's position. Consequently, i was trapped in a running vehicle with gasoline leaking and unable to shut off the engine. Had to wait 30n minutes for ems/fire rescue to arrive. Extrication took another 25-30 minutes. Transported to trauma center, york, pa.
