I am still waiting for my passenger side airbag to be replaced. Is takada/Toyota ever going to be required to replace it? my car is 2007 with only 85,000 miles on it and I want to keep it. When will the airbags be replaced?.
Toyota recall # k1q, NHTSA recall# 19v627 for passenger side airbag. . Recall date 8/28/2019 and status shows as no remedy yet. I assume that no replacement is available. Its been 4 months !.
Tl- the contact owns a 2007 Toyota Matrix. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle the passenger side air bag sensor light would remain illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer Toyota whittier ocated at 14577 e, whittier blvd, whittier, CA 90605 who diagnosed that the air bag coil was faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000. Jft.
Toyota is recalling several models including mine for a defective passenger side airbag. Apparently metal can burst through the airbag if it is deployed causing injury or death. They sent me a letter stating they are working on getting the parts for repair but don't know when that may be. They suggested that nobody ride in the front passenger seat until it can be fixed by an undetermined date. Not a satisfactory solution in my opinion.
