What is this? Some Toyota and Lexus cars have airbags that may not work right. The problem is in the part that fills the airbag with gas.
What's happening? The gas-making part can break after many years. This could make the airbag not open when it should.
Does this affect me? If you own one of these cars in Portugal, Bulgaria, Finland, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Sweden, Slovenia, or Slovakia, check if your car is listed.
What should I do? Call a Toyota or Lexus dealer right away. Ask them to check your car’s airbag. Do not wait.
