Next week Toyota Motor Corp. will begin calling back 169,500 cars, trucks and SUVs in the U.S. to replace airbag inflators whose propellant may explode in a crash.
The new campaign involves certain 2002-2005 Lexus SC sport coupes and Toyota Sequoia large SUVs; 2003-2005 Toyota Corolla sedans and Tundra fullsize pickups (pictured); and 2003-2007 Pontiac Vibe small wagons. Toyota will handle recalls for Toyota and Lexus brand models, and General Motors Co. will process notifications for Vibe owners.
The recall is part of a staged process rolled out by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that covers some 39 million Takata inflators used by a dozen carmakers. Manufacturers previously have recalled 29 million such devices in the U.S.
