Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has announced a big recall (or Special Service Campaign, if you like) for the Toyota Hilux pick-up, Fortuner SUV and Innova MPV. Such models manufactured from 2005 to 2010 are involved, affecting a total of 82,457 units in Malaysia alone.
The driver's airbag module's spiral cable assembly is at fault here, as TMC has found that there's a small possibility of it being damaged when the steering wheel is turned. If that happens, the airbag warning light would turn on, while the airbag itself could be deactivated and thus now deploy in an event of a crash.
Local distributor UMW Toyota will contact the owners of the affected vehicles to carry out the necessary corrective measures, including replacing the suspect parts with improved ones. All the work will be done at no cost to the owners.
