T-SB-0122-11 Rev2018-04-02. Service bulletin. AIR BAGS; SEATS; EQUIPMENT. Beginning in 1998, Toyota introduced side airbags as optional equipment.

Modifications that negatively affect side airbag performance can result in severe occupant injuries. Seat covers are an integral part of this safety system.

The design of the seat is complex, integrating safety and strength with comfort and luxury. Toyota strongly discourages modifying original equipment seats that have optional side airbags.
