One problem related to side/window air bag has been reported for the 1997 Lexus LS400. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle was involved in a driver side front fender collision at 50 mph, and both frontal air bags and side air bags did not deploy. Dealer/manufacturer were notified. Toyota's legal department confirmed that the direct frontal collison forces were below the threshold for deployment, impacting the softer portion of the left front corner of the vehicle, and was not a direct frontal impact, therefore the air bags did not deploy, two people were injured in the accident.
