A number of widely used Toyota models have been recalled because of an airbag problem that may present a safety hazard.
The recall applies to the 2023 Corolla, Corolla Cross, Highlander and Tacoma.
A notice to drivers reads, “On certain vehicles, the steering wheel spiral cable assembly could disconnect. If this happens, the airbag (SRS) warning lamp could turn on, and the driver-front airbag wouldn’t work in a crash, this may also cause the horn or other steering wheel-mounted controls not to work properly.”
The models listed were part of a previous recall in 2023. The new notice states that the inspection conducted at that time “may not have been performed correctly” and urges drivers to bring their vehicles in for inspection, even if they were checked two years ago.
Owners are encouraged to reach out to the manufacturer or visit the website if they are uncertain whether the recall applies to their vehicle.
