Lexus virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The short version
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing reported a problem with the passenger side inflator module. Here is what owners need to know.
Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas. The affected vehicles have a passenger side frontal air bag that may be susceptible to moisture intrusion which, over time, could cause the inflator to rupture upon its deployment.
In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death.
Take it to a dealer — they will either replace the front passenger air bag inflator or the entire front passenger air bag assembly depending on the model, free of charge.
