What this recall means for you
Some 2022-2023 Corolla Cross vehicles that were previously inspected under an earlier recall may have an instrument panel produced without the required perforation. This could prevent the front-passenger air bag from deploying properly, and the vehicles do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208 for occupant crash protection.
An air bag that does not deploy as intended raises the risk of injury in a crash. If you own one of these vehicles, you should return it to an authorized Toyota dealer, where the instrument panel will be inspected and replaced as necessary at no cost to you. Vehicles previously inspected under the earlier recall must return for this additional inspection. Owner notification letters were mailed January 26, 2024.
