Following on the recall issued in May for 97,000 vehicles over faulty Takata airbags, UMW Toyota has announced that Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) has expanded the coverage with another recall, this time involving nearly 30,000 vehicles.

UMW Toyota says it has received confirmation from TMC that 29,985 units of the Toyota Vios, Corolla Altis and Yaris have been identified as having faulty passenger side airbag inflators. The vehicles involved in this recall exercise were manufactured from April 2007 to December 2008.

The company says it will contact all customers to carry out the necessary corrective measures on the affected vehicles, and on these cars the inflator will be replaced with a newly-manufactured one at no charge to the owner.

UMW Toyota adds that no other Toyota models sold by it produced after December 2008 are involved in this campaign. Customers wishing to find out more may call Toyota Malaysia at 1800-8-869682.
