Background:
On December 21, 2016, Toyota filed a Noncompliance Information Report (NCIR) with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) informing the agency that we conducted a voluntary Safety (Non-Compliance) Recall on one 2016 Toyota 4Runner and one 2017 Lexus GX460.
As of December 21, 2016 the two vehicles involved in this Safety (Non-Compliance) Recall have been identified and repaired. There is no action required by dealers. For reference, additional details regarding this Safety (NonCompliance) Recall are provided below.
| Q1: | What is the condition? |
| A1: | The subject two vehicles are equipped with a Takata-designated PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflator. During inflator assembly, it is possible that the inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of ignition booster tablets. In this condition, the front passenger air bag may not fully inflate during deployment; therefore, some portions of the requirements of FMVSS 208 may not be met. The improper inflation of the passenger air bag may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. |
