Toyota is recalling approximately 1,716 vehicles, including certain 2023 Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Highlander, Tacoma, and Lexus RX/NX models, that may have been incorrectly fixed during a previous recall (23V-480). An electrical connection in the steering column's spiral cable may be poorly welded, causing it to separate and turn off the driver's air bag. Owners should take their vehicle to a Toyota or Lexus dealer to have the spiral cable assembly inspected and replaced for free.
If the internal electrical connection separates, the driver's air bag will be deactivated and will not deploy during a crash, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury. This defect also means the vehicles fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 208 for occupant crash protection.
Free inspection and replacement of the spiral cable assembly.
