  Driver's Air Bag May Not Deploy/FMVSS 208

  NHTSA campaign 25V-040 · 1,716 vehicles potentially affected · Air bags

  The defect: Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2023 Toyota Corolla, Corolla Cross, Corolla Cross Hybrid, Highlander, Highlander Hybrid, Tacoma, Lexus RX350, 2023-2024 NX250, and NX350 vehicles that may have been incorrectly repaired under previous NHTSA recall number 23V-480.
