Passenger air bag may cause injury if activated.

Fix: Replace affected air bag assembly.

Recalled models: COROLLA · 99,588 vehicles

Affected vehicles received a recall remedy in which the replacement inflator may have been installed in an incorrect orientation.This may prevent the front passenger air bag from inflating as intended during deployment as designed.

Fix: Affected vehicles will have the inflator checked and corrected if it is necessary.

It has been identified that vehicles equipped with a single stage inflator driver�s front air bag then there is a possibility that the density of the propellant in the inflator could be reduced over time from the effects of high temperature cycling and moisture within the propellant and its sealed container. This may cause the propellant to degrade which if this occurs then the inflator could rupture in the event of the deployment of the driver�s front air bag.

Fix: Recall all affected vehicle to replace the driver's front air bag.

It has been identified that in the subject vehicles there is a possibility the container of the inflator of the driver�s side may rupture. Toyota has not been able to establish the cause of the failure and is conducting a safety recall to recover the relevant parts to enable them to investigate the cause of the failure.

Fix: Recall the affected vehicles to replace the driver's side airbag inflator.

Recalled models: COROLLA · 1,248 vehicles

Affected vehicles are equipped with a driver�s side Power Window Master Switch (PWMS) containing sliding electrical contact modules. These modules may not have been incorrectly coated during the manufacturing process. This may cause a short circuit which could cause the switch to overheat and melt

Fix: Inspect switch and apply coating. If switch indicates signs of malfunction it should be replaced.

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

Oil may accumulate in the turbo charger and in certain circumstances flow into the combustion chamber. This may cause engine damage. In extreme cases oil can be ejected from the engine and if it comes in contact with an ignition source may result in a fire.

Fix: Depending vehicle diagnosis modify intercooler layout to improve air flow; upgrade ECU software; upgrade turbo charger and/or vacuum pump

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

It is possible that the splines of the extension shaft on vehicles equipped with Electric Motor assisted Power Steering (EMPS) may not have received the correct hardness treatment. This can cause the spline to distort and wear and eventually result in loss of steering.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles check and if necessary replace the shaft.

Recalled models: COROLLA · 61,910 vehicles

It is possible that the connections at the intermediate shaft and sliding yoke of the steering column may become loose and if the symptoms are ignored steering control can be lost.

Fix: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the steering intermediate shaft. In addition inspect the sliding yoke and intermediate shaft extension and replace if necessary. This recall is staggered starting with Prius and Corrolla. Avensis customer letters will be sent out over the next three months

Due to an improper washing process of a metal part within the brake master cylinder there is a possibility that the groove for installing the rubber seal ring which is located at the end of the master cylinder may be corroded. In this condition brake fluid may leak from the seal or a small amount of air may enter the master cylinder which could lead to an increase in vehicle stopping distance.

Fix: Vehicles that are likely to be affected will be checked and a quality assured part fitted if necessary.

The front passenger airbag inflator module check valve pin is missing in the affected vehicle. In the event of airbag activation the partition which separates the inflator and the bag may not be properly broken resulting in insufficient pressure to properly deploy the airbag. This could result in injury to the front seat passenger in the event of a frontal impact.

Fix: Replace the inflator module.

Transmission output shaft critical dimension may be shorter than the specification. In the worst case this could result in two gears being selected at the same time and cause the gearbox to lock up.

Fix: Check transmission serial number and replace any gearbox found to be within the affected range.

Certain brake master cylinder reservoir cap air vents are blocked. If the vehicle is driven in this condition for long term a vacuum is created in the reservoir tank as brake pads wear. There is a possibility that this vacuum may cause the brake pedal stroke to increase.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles and replace reservoir cap if faulty.

It is possible for the bolts to be loose that join the rear brake and hub assembly to the rear axle carrier due to insufficient tightening. 1 or more of the 4 bolts could come loose causing an abnormal noise from the rear wheel axle area. In the event that all 4 bolts loosen completely separation of the rear brake and hub assembly from the rear axle carrier may occur which in the worst case could lead to a loss of vehicle control.

Fix: Recall affected vehicles and check the rear brake and hub securing bolts for correct tightness.
