2006 Toyota Scion Tc

Component

Air Bags:Side/Window

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles, the side impact seat-bolster and curtain side airbags may inadvertently deploy. this condition can occur if the door for that side of the vehicle is closed with a high rate of force while the vehicleøs ignition is in the øonø position or within 90 seconds of turning the ignition key from the øonø position to the øoffø position.

Corrective Action

if the side impact seat-bolster and curtain side airbags inadvertently deploy, they could cause personal injury if an occupant is seated on the same side of the vehicle as the door that is closed with a high rate of force. until the repair has been performed, it is recommended that a minimal force/speed be used to close the driver and passenger doors or closing the doors after 90 seconds have elapsed from turning the ignition key from the øonø to the øoffø position.

Component

Air Bags

Consequence of Defect

on certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. in this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the srs system is activated during a crash.

Corrective Action

this may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash.

Recall Notes

dealers will replace the specific srs air bag. the recall began on april 6, 2006. owners may contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371, scion at 1-866-548-1851, or lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
