Overview
| MLIT filing number | 2101970 |
|---|---|
| Type | Improvement Campaign (manufacturer improvement measure / 改善対策) |
| Date filed | December 4, 2001 |
| Manufacturer(s) | Toyota |
| Component | Airbag |
| Production period | July 30, 2001 — October 17, 2001 |
| Vehicles affected | 5,476 units |
Issue
In the driver-side airbag system, the shape of the fabric airbag cover retaining the folded bag is incorrect. During airbag deployment, the steering wheel pad may fracture at locations other than the intended tear seam, causing the lower half of the pad to separate from the steering wheel. In the worst case, the detached pad may strike the vehicle occupant.
Corrective action
Replace the airbag assembly on all vehicles with a corrected unit incorporating a redesigned fabric cover.
