The 5 million-unit recall Toyota Motor Corp. announced last week to replace Takata Corp. airbag inflators will include 636,700 vehicles in the U.S.
The American campaign will cover three groups covering vehicles made during the 2003-2007 model years.
The largest recall includes 300,000 of the company's 2005-2006 Tundra large pickup trucks, and 2005-2007 Lexus SC luxury coupes and Corolla sedans and hatchbacks. The campaign also includes 2005-2007 model Pontiac Vibe small hatchbacks produced for General Motors Co.
Toyota will replace the driver's frontal airbag in the affected vehicles, all of which are located in Florida, Hawaii, along the Gulf Coast and in American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico, Saipan and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
In a second nationwide campaign, Toyota will replace the passenger frontal airbag in 176,600 of the company's 2003-2004 model Tundra trucks and 2004 Sequoia large SUVs.
The two recalls expand a campaign launched last June to replace passenger frontal airbag inflators in 651,500 of the same models.
Toyota's third recall will replace the driver's frontal airbag in 159,700 Toyota RAV4 SUVs sold during the 2004-2005 model years.
