The most recent update will be highlighted with a red box.

Q1: What is the condition?
A1: The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger or front driver airbag inflators produced by Takata. The propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures.  Degraded propellant can cause the inflator to explode during airbag deployment.  In the event of an inflator explosion, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.

 

Q2: Why is Takata recalling all frontal airbag inflators manufactured with propellant that do not also include a desiccant?
A2: Multiple independent investigations and NHTSA’s independent expert concluded that the propellant in non-desiccated, frontal Takata airbag inflators degrades over time.  The degradation is the result of various factors existing in the location where the vehicle containing the inflators is principally operated, including long-term exposure to environmental moisture and fluctuating high temperatures.

Q2a: What is the Inflator?
A2a: The inflator is a device contained within the airbag assembly.  It contains solid propellant wafers which are ignited in the event airbag deployment is triggered.  When ignited, the wafers expand into an inert gas, inflating the airbag.

 

Q2b: What happens when the non-desiccated propellant degrades?
A2b: If the propellant degrades substantially, the inflators can become over-pressurized and explode during airbag deployment.

 

Q2c: What is a desiccant?
A2c: A desiccant is a material that acts as a drying agent.  Desiccants collect moisture present in their immediate environment, helping to limit moisture absorption by other nearby materials, such as propellant in an airbag inflator.

 

Q2d: What is absolute humidity? 
A2d: The measure of the water vapor content in the air is known as absolute humidity, and it is displayed in grams of water vapor per cubic meter of air. Higher temperature, southern coastal climates consistently experience the greatest concentrations of water vapor in the air, as warmer ambient air can hold more water.

Note: relative humidity is simply a percentage value and is related to current or measured temperature; therefore, areas with high relative humidity do not necessarily have high absolute humidity.

 

Q2e: How is humidity related to the condition?
A2e: The specific relationship of humidity to the operation of the inflator and the cause of improper airbag inflator performance and explosion is still under investigation.

 

 

Q3: I already had my recall repair completed under a previous recall of the passenger airbag inflator. 

Why is my vehicle being recalled again?

A3: All vehicles repaired under a previous recall with a remedy part containing Phase Stabilized Ammonium Nitrate (PSAN) without desiccant are scheduled for recall under the Takata Coordinated Remedy Program administered by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) beginning December 31, 2019.  Vehicles repaired using a PSAN inflator without desiccant are sometimes referred to as “Like for Like” vehicles.

Q3a: If these “Like for Like” vehicles are not scheduled for recall until later on, why is Toyota recalling these vehicles now?
A3a: Due to sufficient supply of remedy parts and dealer capacity for certain vehicles, Toyota was able to pull ahead the launch of the remedy phase for these vehicles involved in advance of Takata’s decision.

 

Q3b: When is Toyota planning to recall other vehicles that may be involved in this “Like for Like” phase?
A3b: There are no other vehicles or future phases of “Like for Like”.

 

 

Q4: Which airbags in Toyota vehicles are affected by this field action?
A4: This field action only includes certain Toyota vehicles repaired under a previous recall with Takata produced front passenger or driver airbag inflators that do not include a desiccant.

 

Q5: Are there concerns with other airbags in the vehicle?
A5: No.  This recall only applies to certain front passenger or driver airbag inflators manufactured and installed in certain Toyota vehicles.  Other airbags in the vehicle are not affected by this Safety Recall.

 

Q6: Which vehicles are affected by this Safety Recall?
A6: There are approximately 1,045,000 Toyota vehicles covered by these Safety Recalls.

Q2b: What if I don’t have access to SOAR?
A2b: If your dealership is not a current SOAR user, please contact the Dealer Daily administrator within your dealership to gain access.  Only users who have a business need to access the data within SOAR should be provided access.

 

 

Q3: Are there any special conditions or terms of use involved with this data?
A3: Yes, each time a dealer accesses the data in SOAR, they will be required to agree to a series of terms and conditions.  The use of this data is strictly prohibited for any purpose other than contacting customers about the incomplete recall on their vehicle.  It cannot be used for marketing of any kind.

 

Q4: Can I download the data and provide to members of my dealership to reach out to customers?
A4: Yes, we encourage you to use the data to reach customers in your area for the purpose of informing them about an open recall.  We ask that you keep in mind that Terms and Conditions state that you may not load this data into any other database and you may not retain the data for longer than is necessary to reach out to customers for that purpose.

 

Q5: Will I be able to use my OCPe National Business Partner (Epsilon, AutoPoint, Gulf States Marketing) to reach out to customers in my area?
A5: Yes. A similar integration with National Business Partners which exists today in SOAR will be available for the Takata unrepaired VINs.

Q5a: Can I provide the data to other Third-Party Vendors?
A5a: Yes, but any Third-Party Vendor which receives this data must be contractually bound in writing to the same Terms and Conditions which dealers agree to when accessing the data.

 

Q6: Will Toyota purge the list of unrepaired VINs in my area as they are repaired?
A6: Yes, each night SOAR will be purged of any VINs for which repair warranty claims were received on the previous day.

 

Q7: What data will be available in SOAR?
A7: VIN, customer name, address, phone number, and email address.  Note that phone number and email address may not be available for all VINs.

 

Q8: What can I send to customers to notify them about their open recall?

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL (Remedy Notice)

Multiple Models and Multiple Model Years
Non-Desiccated Front Passenger Airbag Inflator — “Like for Like” Replacement
NHTSA Recall No. 19V-741

 

Dear <FirstName/LastName>:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Toyota has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in multiple models and model year vehicles.

You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.

 

What is the condition?

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. The propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause the inflator to explode during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator explosion, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.

 

What Should You Do?

Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed as soon as possible. The remedy will require parts replacement. We recommend you contact your dealer to schedule an appointment in advance to confirm parts availability and minimize your inconvenience. Your local Toyota dealer will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

Spanish translation on back side
Traducción en español en el lado inverso

 

Why am I receiving another recall notice if I already had the recalled inflator replaced?

Toyota previously recalled these vehicles for this same condition. At that time, the inflator used as a replacement was a new one of the same design (so this was a “like for like” replacement). However, the replacement inflator now in your vehicle can still degrade over time as noted above and must be replaced.

 

What will Toyota do?

Toyota dealers will replace the front passenger airbag inflator or airbag assembly, depending on the model, with one of improved design FREE OF CHARGE to you.

 

This is an important Safety Recall.

The remedy will take approximately one to three and a half hours. However, depending on the dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time.

Toyota strongly recommends that you have this Safety Recall remedy performed immediately. Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed. If you are uncomfortable driving the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your local authorized Toyota dealer who will arrange for vehicle pick up.

 

What if you are not the owner or operator of this vehicle?

If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.

If you know the current owner or operator, please forward this letter to them.

If you would like to update your vehicle ownership or contact information, you may do so by registering at www.toyota.com/owners. You will need your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to input the new information.

If you believe that the dealer or Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time or without charge, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hot Line at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.

We have sent this notice in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this condition may have caused you.

 

Thank you for driving a Toyota.

Sincerely,

Toyota Motor Sales, USA

Sin embargo, el inflador puesto como reemplazo en su vehículo podría degradarse con el tiempo, como se indica anteriormente, y debe ser reemplazado.

 

¿Qué hará Toyota?

Los concesionarios Toyota reemplazarán el inflador o el conjunto de la bolsa de aire del pasajero delantero, según el modelo, por uno de diseño mejorado SIN COSTO para usted.

 

Este es un Retiro de Seguridad importante.

El remedio tomará aproximadamente entre una hora y tres horas y media. Sin embargo, dependiendo del horario de trabajo del concesionario, es posible que necesiten su vehículo por más tiempo.

Toyota le recomienda encarecidamente que lleve a cabo el remedio de este Retiro de Seguridad inmediatamente. Por favor, póngase en contacto con cualquier concesionario Toyota autorizado para concertar una cita a fin de realizar este remedio. Si no se siente cómodo conduciendo el vehículo hasta el concesionario, contacte con su concesionario Toyota autorizado local para que dispongan la recogida del vehículo.

 

¿Qué sucede si usted no es el propietario o usuario de este vehículo?

Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, la Ley Federal exige que toda persona que arriende vehículos y reciba este aviso de retiro de seguridad envíe una copia del mismo al arrendatario dentro de los diez días.

Si conoce al propietario o usuario actual del vehículo, por favor, reenvíeles esta carta.

Si desea actualizar la información de propiedad de su vehículo o de contacto, puede hacerlo registrándose en www.toyota.com/owners. Necesitará su Número de Identificación del Vehículo (VIN) de 17 dígitos para ingresar la nueva información.

URGENT SAFETY RECALL

This is an important Safety Recall. The remedy will be performed FREE OF CHARGE to you.

 

This notice applies to your vehicle:

VIN ABCDEFGH987654321

 

IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL (Remedy Notice)

Certain 2004–2005 RAV4 Vehicles (Front Driver)
Non-Desiccated Front Driver Airbag Inflator — “Like for Like” Replacement
NHTSA Recall No. 19V-741

 

Dear <FirstName/LastName>:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. Toyota has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2004 and 2005 RAV4 vehicles.

You received this notice because our records, which are based primarily on state registration and title data, indicate that you are the current owner.

 

What is the condition?

The subject vehicles are equipped with front driver airbag inflators produced by Takata. The propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause the inflator to explode during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator explosion, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.

 

What Should You Do?

Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed as soon as possible. The remedy will require parts replacement. We recommend you contact your dealer to schedule an appointment in advance to confirm parts availability and minimize your inconvenience. Your local Toyota dealer will be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

To find a dealer near you, visit www.toyota.com/dealers.

For more information on this and other Safety Recalls, including Frequently Asked Questions, visit www.toyota.com/recall. Input your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) noted above to review information specific to your vehicle.

If you require further assistance, you may contact the Toyota Customer Experience Center at 1-888-270-9371 Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., Saturday 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Central Time.

Why am I receiving another recall notice if I already had the recalled inflator replaced?

Toyota previously recalled these vehicles for this same condition. At that time, the inflator used as a replacement was a new one of the same design (so this was a “like for like” replacement). However, the replacement inflator now in your vehicle can still degrade over time as noted above and must be replaced.

 

What will Toyota do?

Toyota dealers will replace the front driver airbag inflator with one of improved design FREE OF CHARGE to you.

 

This is an important Safety Recall.

The remedy will take approximately one hour. However, depending on the dealer’s work schedule, it may be necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time.

Toyota strongly recommends that you have this Safety Recall remedy performed immediately. Please contact any authorized Toyota dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed. If you are uncomfortable driving the vehicle to the dealership, please contact your local authorized Toyota dealer who will arrange for vehicle pick up.

 

What if you are not the owner or operator of this vehicle?

If you are a vehicle lessor, Federal Law requires that any vehicle lessor receiving this recall notice must forward a copy of this notice to the lessee within ten days.

If you know the current owner or operator, please forward this letter to them.

If you would like to update your vehicle ownership or contact information, you may do so by registering at www.toyota.com/owners. You will need your full 17-digit Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to input the new information.

If you believe that the dealer or Toyota has failed or is unable to remedy the defect within a reasonable time or without charge, you may submit a complaint to the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, or call the toll free Vehicle Safety Hot Line at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), or go to https://www.safercar.gov.

We have sent this notice in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products. We sincerely regret any inconvenience this condition may have caused you.

 

Thank you for driving a Toyota.

Sincerely,

Toyota Motor Sales, USA

RETIRO DE SEGURIDAD URGENTE

Este es un Retiro de Seguridad importante. El remedio se efectuará SIN COSTO para usted.

 

Este aviso aplica a su vehículo:

VIN ABCDEFGH987654321

 

IMPORTANTE RETIRO DE SEGURIDAD (Aviso de Remedio)

Ciertos Vehículos RAV4 del año 2004–2005 (Conductor)
Inflador de la Bolsa de Aire del Conductor Sin Desecante — Reemplazo por producto igual (“Like for Like”)
No. de retiro de NHTSA 19V-741

 

Estimado (nombre/apellido del cliente):

Esta notificación se le envía de acuerdo con los requisitos establecidos en el Acta de Tráfico Nacional y de Seguridad de Vehículos Motorizados. Toyota ha decidido que existe un defecto relacionado con la seguridad de los vehículos motorizados en ciertos vehículos RAV4 del año 2004 y 2005.

Usted recibió este aviso porque nuestros registros, basados principalmente en la información de registro y titularidad estatal, indican que usted es el propietario actual.

 

¿Cuál es la condición?

Los vehículos afectados están equipados con infladores de la bolsa de aire del conductor fabricados por Takata. El propulsor de estos infladores podría degradarse tras una exposición prolongada a una humedad absoluta elevada y a temperaturas fluctuantes altas. Un propulsor degradado podría causar la explosión del inflador cuando se despliega la bolsa de aire. En el caso de que explotase el inflador, cabría la posibilidad de que los fragmentos metálicos resultantes atravesasen el sistema de amortiguación de la bolsa de aire y golpeasen potencialmente a los ocupantes del vehículo, con lo que podrían causarles heridas o lesiones de gravedad o la muerte.

 

¿Qué Debe Hacer Usted?

Por favor, póngase en contacto con cualquier concesionario Toyota autorizado para concertar una cita a fin de realizar este remedio lo antes posible. El remedio requerirá el reemplazo de ciertas piezas. Le recomendamos que se comunique con su concesionario para concertar una cita por adelantado para confirmar la disponibilidad de las piezas y minimizar los inconvenientes para usted. Su concesionario Toyota local responderá con gusto todas sus preguntas.

Para encontrar su concesionario más cercano, visite www.toyota.com/dealers

Para más información acerca de este Retiro de Seguridad y otros, incluidas las preguntas más frecuentes, visite www.toyota.com/recall. Ingrese su Número de Identificación del Vehículo (VIN) de 17 dígitos que aparece en la parte superior para revisar la información específica a su vehículo.

Si necesita más asistencia, puede comunicarse con el Centro de Experiencia del Cliente de Toyota, al 1-888-270-9371, de lunes a viernes, 7:00 a.m. a 7:00 p.m., sábados, 7:00 a.m. a 4:30 p.m., Hora Central.

Versión en inglés en el frente

 

¿Por qué he recibido otro aviso de retiro de seguridad si ya reemplacé el inflador sujeto al primer retiro de seguridad?J0A Driver

Toyota ya había enviado un retiro de seguridad para estos vehículos por la misma condición. En aquel momento, el inflador usado para reemplazo era uno nuevo con el mismo diseño que el anterior (se trató de un reemplazo por un producto igual [“like for like”]). Sin embargo, el inflador puesto como reemplazo en su vehículo podría degradarse con el tiempo, como se indica anteriormente, y debe ser reemplazado.

 

¿Qué hará Toyota?

Los concesionarios Toyota reemplazarán el inflador de la bolsa de aire del conductor por uno de diseño mejorado SIN COSTO para usted.

Este es un Retiro de Seguridad importante.

El remedio tomará aproximadamente una hora. Sin embargo, dependiendo del horario de trabajo del concesionario, es posible que necesiten su vehículo por más tiempo.

Toyota le recomienda encarecidamente que lleve a cabo el remedio de este Retiro de Seguridad inmediatamente. Por favor, póngase en contacto con cualquier concesionario Toyota autorizado para concertar una cita a fin de realizar este remedio. Si no se siente cómodo conduciendo el vehículo hasta el concesionario, contacte con su concesionario Toyota autorizado local para que dispongan la recogida del vehículo.

 

¿Qué sucede si usted no es el propietario o usuario de este vehículo?

Si usted es arrendador del vehículo, la Ley Federal exige que toda persona que arriende vehículos y reciba este aviso de retiro de seguridad envíe una copia del mismo al arrendatario dentro de los diez días.

Si conoce al propietario o usuario actual del vehículo, por favor, reenvíeles esta carta.

Si desea actualizar la información de propiedad de su vehículo o de contacto, puede hacerlo registrándose en www.toyota.com/owners. Necesitará su Número de Identificación del Vehículo (VIN) de 17 dígitos para ingresar la nueva información.

Si considera que el concesionario o Toyota no han logrado o no pueden solucionar el defecto dentro de un plazo razonable o sin costo para usted, puede presentar una queja al Administrador, a la National Highway Traffic Safety Administration [Administración Nacional de Seguridad Vial en Autopistas], 1200 New Jersey Avenue S.E., Washington, D.C. 20590, o llame sin costo a la línea directa de Seguridad Automotor al 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153), o visite https://www.safercar.gov.

AMENDED DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT
(19V-741)

 

This supplements Toyota’s Part 573 Report (19V-741) concerning the front passenger air bag assembly issue on certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

 

The subject recall affects certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles equipped with front passenger or driver air bag inflators as a “like-for-like” replacement under a prior recall which contain a non-desiccated, phase stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant.  After the amended DIR filing on March 9, 2020, Toyota has developed effective methods to replace only the affected sub-components of the air bag assembly.  Thus, Toyota is supplementing its Part 573 Report (19V-741) to include the option, where applicable, for replacement of only the front passenger airbag sub-assembly and inflator.

 

The Description of Corrective Repair Action is revised as noted below:

 

Description of Corrective Repair Action:

Depending on the vehicle model, dealers will replace the front driver inflator, front passenger airbag inflator, the airbag assembly, or the front passenger airbag sub-assembly and inflator.

  1. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:

Toyota is unable to provide an estimate of the percentage of vehicles to actually contain the defect.  As noted in the May 2016 Amendment to the Takata Consent Order, the length of time that a non-desiccated frontal Takata PSAN inflator will have reached the point where they pose an unreasonable risk to safety could be quite long and is dependent on the age of the inflator and environmental exposure, among other factors.

 

  1. Description:

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger or driver air bag inflators as a “like-forlike” replacement under a prior recall which contain a non-desiccated, phase stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant.  According to the Part 573 Reports submitted by Takata on January 2, 2020, a defect related to motor vehicle safety may arise in the inflators due to propellant degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.  Activation of a non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflator with degraded propellant may result in an inflator rupture.  An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the airbag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.  In consideration of a sufficient supply of final remedy inflators, and upon discussion with the Agency, Toyota previously accelerated the launch of the remedy for these vehicles in advance of the Takata decisions under this Recall 19V-741.  Takata’s January 2, 2020 report prompts this amendment for certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

 

  1. Chronology of Principal Events:

October 11, 2019 – In consideration of a sufficient supply of final remedy inflators and upon discussion with the Agency, Toyota decided to conduct a campaign to replace the air bag inflator or the air bag assembly on certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

 

January 2, 2019 – Takata filed Part 573 reports in accordance with terms specified in the May 4, 2016 Amendment to the November 3, 2015 Consent Order between Takata and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

 

January 7, 2020 – Based on Takata’s Part 573 reports, Toyota decided to conduct a voluntary safety recall to identify the subject vehicles.  In doing so, Toyota does not fully endorse the content of Takata’s Part 573 reports.

 

  1. Description of Corrective Repair Action:

All known owners of the affected Toyota and Lexus vehicles were notified by first class mail to return their vehicles to a Toyota or Lexus dealer.  Depending on the vehicle model, dealers will replace the front passenger or driver airbag inflator or airbag assembly.

 

Reimbursement Plan for pre-notification remedies

The owner letter instructed vehicle owners who have paid to have this condition remedied prior to this campaign to seek reimbursement pursuant to Toyota’s General Reimbursement Plan.

 

  1. Recall Schedule:

Notifications to owners of the affected vehicles has already occurred.  A copy of the draft owner notification letter has been provided to the agency.

 

  1. Distributor/Dealer Notification Schedule:

Notifications to distributors/dealers were previously sent on October 17, 2019.  Copies of dealer communications have already been submitted to the agency.

  1. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:

Not applicable at this time.

 

  1. Description:

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger or driver air bag inflators as a “like-for-like” replacement under a prior recall which contain a non-desiccated, phase stabilized ammonium nitrate propellant.  Under the Amended Consent Order of May 2016 between Takata and NHTSA, Takata is required to make a series of safety defect decisions when the inflators become defective and file Defect Information Reports (DIRs).  The scheduled Takata DIRs that affect the subject vehicles will not occur until late 2019.  However, in consideration of a sufficient supply of final remedy inflators, and upon discussion with the Agency, Toyota is accelerating the launch of the remedy for these vehicles in advance of the Takata decisions.  Toyota will amend this report at the time Takata files its DIR to acknowledge Takata’s defect decision.

 

  1. Chronology of Principal Events:

October 11, 2019 – In consideration of a sufficient supply of final remedy inflators and upon discussion with the Agency, Toyota decided to conduct a campaign to replace the air bag inflator or the air bag assembly on certain Toyota and Lexus vehicles.

1 Associated Investigation

Air Bag Inflator Rupture
NHTSA ID: EA15001
Dated opened: February 24, 2015

The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers. All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.

During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers. Nonetheless, at ODI’s insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation. The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures. As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.

Takata’s initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida. Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas. Takata’s testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions. During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.

Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina. Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls. Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity. Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing. All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.

The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time. ODI’s investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.

The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
