The airbag system in the subject vehicles could experience electrical shorting that could damage the circuits in the system. This could cause the airbag warning lights to illuminate and the airbag(s) and seatbelt pretensioner(s) to become deactivated; or it could cause those systems to inadvertently deploy. These conditions can increase the risk of injury or crash.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota dealers will replace the airbag control unit with an improved one at no cost to customers. Owners of all involved vehicles will receive direct notification by first class mail starting in late December.
