Toyota Recalls 2014 Tundra CrewMax and Double Cab for Air Bag Defect

Toyota is recalling 2014 Tundra CrewMax and Double Cab vehicles because a B-pillar trim misinstallation may prevent side air bags from deploying properly in a crash.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety-critical component (air bags) that may fail to deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury in a crash, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain model year 2014 Toyota Tundra CrewMax and Double Cab vehicles manufactured between July 29, 2013, and August 22, 2014. The recall involves approximately 132,624 vehicles.

The defect is caused by the possible misinstallation of the upper tab of the B-pillar interior trim. This issue may prevent the Curtain-Shield Air Bags (CSA) from deploying properly in the event of a crash, which increases the risk of occupant injury.

Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the B-pillar interior trim installation and replace it if it is not installed correctly, free of charge. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
