Toyota Motor Company recently issued an emergency recall notice for about 50,000 older models. The reason is that the airbag inflators in these vehicles have the risk of explosion, which may pose a threat to the life safety of the vehicle owners.

According to Toyota, the scope of this recall mainly includes the 2003 to 2004 Corolla and Corolla Matrix and the 2004 to 2005 RAV4. The RAV4 recall mainly involves the driver's side airbag, while the Corolla and Corolla Matrix mainly involve the front passenger side airbag. In addition, some Corolla and Corolla Matrix models are facing secondary recalls because the airbags in these vehicles may accidentally deploy without a collision. According to Toyota's statement, the recall is to address potential safety issues to ensure users' driving safety. Car owners will be notified and can go to the dealer for free air bag inspection and repair. Toyota said it will take active measures to solve the problem and ensure product quality and user safety.
