1/9/19 - Toyota Expands Takata Air Bag Safety Recall : 2010-2016 4Runners

[blue2016]

So far not on the list, you would think SE Texas would make the list.

Thanks for the heads up! My 2016 Trail is on the list as well. Living in NY now but purchased in FL. Hopefully that means no one else in the area will be bombarding the dealership for appointments.

When my wife's 2012 Corolla had this recall in 2017 we talked to the dealership and got a free rental (2017 Corolla) for about 6 months.

Looks like I'm a winner too. Going to have the dealer do this when I bring it in for an oil change next week.

2015 SR5 on the list, Pittsburgh. Scheduled for Tuesday morning. Thanks for the heads-up!

My 2015 Trail is on the list, thanks for the heads-up :mullet:

I'm going to wait awhile, wait for the techs to get comfortable and efficient at doing the recall first. A friend had a 20010 4runner done down south and they scratched some stuff.

Another 2015 Trail on the list. Appointment pending.

Thanks OP!!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. Made an appointment for tomorrow morning

Thanks for the heads up!

Got scheduled for next week. Interesting that they asked me the color of my interior A-pillar trim to double check, they said it comes with a replacement garnish. Maybe parts were getting damaged when replacing the side airbags?

While ideally I'd aim for both a scratch free interior AND not having [potentially] a claymore mine pointed at my front passenger's torso, I'd settle for the latter initially, then work w/the dealer after the fact to fix the scratched interior.

But that's just me.

Pittsburgh! :wave:

2016 Trail in CO on the list. Scheduled for a few weeks from now. Thanks for the heads up!

I was also thinking I would wait because I have had bad experiences with dealers trying to take out a dash and replacing it. However, I would rather not have a ticking time bomb for my passengers. I would feel awful if something happened to someone because of my irrational fear of having some rattles or broken clips.

I believe they are region based as Bayou_Pro said. From my limited knowledge, it has to do with the environment the car is in, and humidity plays a part. Supposedly it has a higher chance to fail in a hotter/more humid environment so it looks like the South is a higher priority.

Interesting,, mines on the list,, here in cold dry Idaho.

2016 Pro in the shop as we speak getting this done. All these comments about scratching up the interior are scaring me lol

Will let you guys know how it turns out in a couple of hours.

 

[Spanky4R]

On the list, parts ordered, & appointment set for Mon.
Thanks for the heads up

FWIW, I had this recall performed last year and they didn't appear to need to remove the entire dash to replace the passenger side airbag. It looked like they removed the glovebox and got access from there. I have a lot of aftermarket equipment, so it was a worry for me.

They will not go off by themselves. The issue is over time in high humidity areas they may fail to deploy due to corrosion over time.
I'm not worried in the least.

Went in to get an oil change yesterday and they were going to do the recall, but were missing a few parts and I could not leave it (they offered a free loaner) due to plans after work today

the recall is also because the inflator can rupture which fires metal fragments at you, people have died because of shrapnel

i don't think most people who have been in an accident where airbags were deployed didn't plan on their airbags deploying, so ignoring something that could fire shrapnel at you and kill you if the airbags deploy is weird since you can't just say, "well okay i just won't get in an accident so problem solved"

Thanks, my 2016 Limited needs it. Zone A front passenger
