Plain-English summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing is recalling certain 2022 and 2023 Corolla Cross vehicles. The instrument panel in these vehicles may have been produced without the required perforation, which is necessary for proper air bag deployment. This defect means the front-passenger air bag may not deploy as intended in a crash.

An air bag that does not deploy properly increases the risk of injury during a crash. The affected vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, which requires proper occupant crash protection.

Approximately 96,007 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owners can contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331 to schedule an inspection and free replacement of the instrument panel, if necessary.
