| Description of the problem | Noticed slight swelling of the passenger side airbag over a period of a few months. Appeared that the upper seam of the cover was widening. Yesterday when driving home noticed it appeared larger than usual. Upon getting home too a picture, as the airbag seam had begun to split and can see a red foam like substance through the split. Called local toyota dealership and individual i spoke with was vague, had never heard of anything similar or any airbag recalls with toyota. Seemed distracted and rushed, although it was about an hour til their official closing time. Proceeded to call toyota customer service. Spoke with a very nice agent who searched for recalls based on my vin number. She came up with no recalls but expressed similar concerns as myself of the airbag deploying and causing injury or accident. She assigned me a case number but advised me to have it looked at at a toyota dealership. After researching online, it seems like a problem that many have noted... Same description and very similar pictures. |
