Recall Alert: Toyota Scion
Toyota recalls 11,000 Scion iQ vehicles over air bag issue
11/08/2012
Quote:
Toyota announced on Wednesday that it is voluntarily recalling select model-year 2012 and 2013 Scion iQ microcars due to an air bag problem. Specifically, affected airbags may inadvertently inflate or not inflate at all, because of damaged data cables. Said data cables, also known as sensor cables, may become damaged if a loose object were to fall beneath the vehicle’s seat, where the cable is located. Additionally, the seatbelt pre-tensioners may also fail to operate properly, according to the recall notice. The safety recall involves about 11,200 iQ vehicles.
Toyota has not divulged a specific recall notice schedule, but did state that it will begin inspecting Scion iQ microcars in December. Dealers will outfit affected cables with protective covers, free of charge. In the meantime, owners can contact Scion at 1-866-707-2466.
