Air Bag Light On problems of the 2010 Toyota Tacoma

My airbag light came on for no apparent reason. There was a recall for other Toyota Tacomas for an air bag spiral assembly however my model was not included. I took the truck to a Toyota dealer who informed me that the cable and connections were rusty and the air bag would not function in a crash unless the assembly was replaced. I paid out of pocket to have the cable replaced.

Airbag light illuminated disabling the vehicle's airbag systems potentially causing severe injury during a collision. Dealership inspection revealed failure in the airbag spiral cable, an existing known fault recalled on other 2010 model year Tacomas by Toyota. This particular VIN was not included in the 2014 Toyota recall of 2009-2010 for spiral cable failure. Toyota currently has no plans to expand their previous recall to fix this issue on other affected vehicles.
