Toyota has issued a voluntary recall for as many as 50,000 older vehicles, urging their owners to cease driving the cars immediately. The recall is in response to faulty airbags that need to be fixed as soon as possible. Toyota has advised that the vehicles should not be driven until the airbags have been replaced or repaired.
In an advisory statement, Toyota emphasized the urgency of the situation, stating that certain airbags in the affected vehicles are subject to an important safety recall. Due to the age of these vehicles, there is an increased risk of the airbags deploying and causing serious harm. If the airbag were to deploy, a component inside is more likely to explode, shooting sharp metal fragments that could result in severe injury or even death to the driver or passengers.
Owners of the affected vehicles are strongly advised not to drive them until the necessary safety recall repair has been conducted. Toyota is urging owners to contact their local dealer instead of driving their vehicle to be repaired. The repairs will be conducted free of charge to ensure the safety of the vehicle occupants.
It is crucial for Toyota owners to take immediate action and prioritize their safety by reaching out to their local dealer to arrange for the necessary repair. By doing so, they can help prevent any potential risks associated with the faulty airbags and ensure the well-being of themselves and their passengers.
