The problem

On certain vehicles equipped with curtain side air bags (Csa), the csa tether strap located in the front pillars may have been incorrectly routed during the assembly process.

The risk

If the tether strap is not correctly routed, the front side of the csa may not deploy as designed, which may result in insufficient occupant protection during a side impact crash or rollover event.

The fix

Dealers will inspect both csa front tether straps, and if necessary, reroute them. The recall began on december 21, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1-888-270-9371.
