Toyota Vietnam recalls another 8,000 cars over airbag fault
About 8,036 cars with Takata airbag have been recalled by Toyota Vietnam over defective inflator and propellant devices.
The Vietnam Register also asked Toyota Vietnam to notify their customers, inspect the cars and provide replacements in accordance with the procedures and the announced time frame.
Toyota Vietnam must submit a report once every three months about the recall in Vietnam. After the recall process is completed, they must submit a report about the results to the Vietnam Register.
More than 40,000 other cars also have Takata airbags, however, according to Toyota Vietnam, not all cars have the defective inflator. Toyota Vietnam also has to wait for more directives from their mother company in Japan.
The faulty airbag device may deploy improperly and shoot metal fragments into the driver and passengers. No accident has been recorded by Toyota Vietnam. Toyota Vietnam will check and provide free replacements for their cars.
The Japanese airbag maker Takata filed for bankruptcy in June and will be sold for Key Safety Systems under China's Ningbo Joyson Electronic.
