NHTSA 23V864000Reported Dec 20, 2023
Filed by
Toyota Motor Corporation (manufacturer recall no. 23TA16)
Components
Electrical system: Instrument cluster/panel; Air bags: Frontal
Units affected
12,575 (estimate)
Problem
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2022-2023 Corolla Cross vehicles that were previously inspected at a dealership under recall 23V-384. The instrument panel may have been produced without the required perforation, which could result in the front-passenger air bag not deploying properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."
Risk
An air bag that does not deploy as intended increases the risk of injury during a crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect and replace the instrument panel as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 26, 2024. Owners may contact Toyota's customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 23TA16. Vehicles previously inspected under 23V-384 will need to return to the dealership for additional inspection.
