Corolla ZZE122 & Avensis Verso ACM20
Published 12 April 2013
Product
Passenger-side front airbag fitted to Toyota Corolla ZZE122 and Avensis Verso ACM20 model vehicles
Why it was recalled
Takata airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of heat and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
Hazard
In the event of an airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
