Summary

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing "Toyota" is recalling certain 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, Grand Highlander Hybrid, Lexus TX350, TX500 Hybrid, and TX550 Hybrid+ vehicles. The driver and passenger side curtain air bags may not unroll as intended and could partially deploy outside of an open window. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 226, "Ejection Mitigation."

Consequence

An improper deployment of the side curtain air bag can reduce occupant protection during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Remedy

Dealers will replace the driver and passenger curtain shield air bag assemblies, free of charge. Interim letters notifying owners of the safety risk were mailed August 19, 2024. A second notice will be sent once the remedy is available. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.
