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.

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 manufactured without required perforations, which could prevent the front-passenger air bag from deploying properly during a crash.

These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 208, which requires proper occupant crash protection. If the air bag does not deploy as intended, occupants face an increased risk of injury in a crash.

This recall affects vehicles that were previously inspected under recall 23V-384. These vehicles will require an additional inspection at a dealership. Affected owners should contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331 or visit their dealership for a free inspection and replacement of the instrument panel if necessary.

Owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
