When driving with air bags light on is completely unsafe and danger to everyone including driver. Toyota send out interim recall letters to owners of certain models and years including Rav4 2006 to Rav4 and asked to contact local Toyota dealer immediately in case of if air bag light illuminate or illuminated already. Meanwhile Toyota is making arrangement for remedy part ( d squib clock spiral cable ) for those qualified models to fix the airbag light. After I received a same interim notice, the air bag light came on. I called Toyota CO-operate office about the my recall notice I received by mail and told that suddenly my air bag light came on . Toyota ask me to take my car to the local Toyota dealer for diagnose which I did and their diagnose result came up with b1801 error ( d squib clock spring spiral cable faulty) which they updated to Toyota database and told me to wait till remedy is available for this fix. I called Toyota CO operate office again and they told me to wait till the part is available. It has been now 7 months and I haven't received any further notice nor any remedy yet. I called Toyota few times and finally they give me a wearied answer that my car is not on defective batch anymore and does not qualify for this airbag recall. My car VIN #, year, model everything showing clearly based on interim recall letter that is in that defective recall qualification group but some how Toyota is now playing game and telling me different story. They don't have any answer of who I do have the same faulty spiral cable defect like same exact others defective batch has. Toyota is the one who who send out interim notices to those qualified recall batch based on their VIN# and now after 8 months, they are denied that my car doesn't qualify for this recall fix?. ?? I like to have this investigate by NHTSA's before some one life gets at risk.

The srs airbag light came on. Overseas Toyota dealer technician troubleshot and identified a bad spiral cable assembly. Since I am stationed overseas I have to order parts online and wait for arrival. Contacted Toyota and received e-mail stating the recent recall for airbags did not apply to my VIN. Of course they also told me they do not recommend shipping u. S. Made Toyotas to overseas locations because Toyota dealers overseas cannot submit warranty work for u. S. Made Toyotas. I guess they are in essence stating they do not support the military and dod civilians who get transferred overseas because they will not help to repair their car, even if it is under warranty. Though my car only has 35k and the warranty expired, I wanted to see if the recall affected my vehicle, especially while researching online I saw many Rav4s with the same problem. Did not get an answer from Toyota whether the vehicle was safe to drive in this condition.
I took my Rav4 to the dealer because the air bag light came on and I was told that the car need a new spiral cable and warranty does not cover that part that I must to pay around 500 dollars to get it fix. Now my question is if it's a malfuntion why do I have to pay to get it fixed.

We brought our vehicle in to service recall notice for side curtain airbags. When returning home after service the airbag light went on. The Toyota dealer tested it and said it was the main clockspring. I subsequently had the clockspring replaced at my expense and it lasted a number of months before the airbag light started coming on frequently. I then had the vehicle tested by three different mechanics (two Toyota dealers) and they all said that the only indication they get when they test the system is the old, previously fixed clockspring failure indicator and all said that they have no idea why the airbag light is coming on. This is a serious safety concern as we don't know if our airbag system is working or not and whether or not it could go off anytime. It also makes it impossible to sell the car.

While driving, noticed that srs airbag light on dash illuminated, which indicates that the vehicles driver airbag is inoperative. Took into Toyota dealer, and was told it had a bad spiral cable/clock spring, and airbag module actuator. Was quoted repair price of $ 1297. 00. When I called them back asking for the 2 error codes read in diagnostics, a different service adviser informed it was only 1 code, b1801, which is for spiral cable, and not airbag actuator too. This should be a safety recall issue, and repaired by Toyota, since my driver's airbag is inoperative.
