“Toyota Recalls 145K+ US Vehicles for Faulty Airbags”

“Toyota Recalls 145K+ US Vehicles for Faulty Airbags” :Toyota is recalling 145,254 vehicles in the U.S. over side curtain airbags that may deploy improperly, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.

In the event of a crash, a side curtain airbag provides a barrier that helps prevent the ejection of the car’s occupant.

However, the NHTSA said that in some Toyota vehicles, the driver’s side curtain airbag may not unroll as intended and could partially deploy outside of an open window.

“The recall pertains to specific 2024 models of SUVs and hybrids, including the Toyota Grand Highlander, Grand Highlander Hybrid, as well as the Lexus TX350, TX500 Hybrid, and TX550 Hybrid+ vehicles.”

The remedy for the issue is under development, said the NHTSA.
