Description of the problem	My 2006 toyota rav4 airbag dash light began remaining on constantly and was diagnosed by findlay toyota in flagstaff, az on 3/20/13 with: "recommend replacing spiral cable due to open circuit in spiral cable... $583 to replace sensor." i called toyota customer experience center at 1-800-331-4331 on 6/19/13 and spoke with [xxx], who confirmed that no recalls are available for this problem on the rav4s, despite this issue being the exact same as found in toyota tacomas: march 08, 2012 customer faqs for toyota tacoma steering wheel spiral cable assembly recall 1. Which models are involved in the recall? Toyota is recalling 495,000 certain 2005 to early 2009 model year toyota tacoma vehicles sold in the u. S. No other vehicles are involved in this recall. 2. What is the condition? Due to the combination of the steering wheel spiral cable design and characteristics unique to the tacoma chassis, friction between the spiral cable and the retainer in the steering wheel spiral cable assembly may occur in some vehicles. Friction over time may result in damage to certain circuits that provide connectivity to the driver? S air bag module. If connectivity is lost, the air bag warning lamp will remain illuminated, and the driver? S air bag may become deactivated, preventing deployment in the event of a crash. 3. Are there any warnings that this condition has occurred? Yes. The airbag warning light is designed to illuminate when the vehicle is started. It goes off after about 6 seconds, indicating the system is operating as designed. If the airbag warning light remains illuminated after this period, please contact your local toyota dealer for diagnosis and appropriate repair. This exact condition exists in my 2006 rav4, however, i cannot afford the $583 required for an authorized dealer to repair it. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
