## What is wrong

Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) is recalling certain 2012 Toyota 4Runner, Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Sienna, Yaris, Scion xB, Lexus ES350, GX460, IS\-F, IS250, IS350, IS250C, IS350C, and Lexus LFA vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands \(Saipan\), and the U.S. Virgin Islands, or "Zone A."    Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" above, Toyota is recalling certain 2009 Toyota Corolla, Corolla Matrix, Yaris, Yaris HB, Scion xB, Pontiac Vibe, Lexus, ES350, IS250, IS350, and IS\-F vehicles originally sold, or ever registered, in Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia, or "Zone B."    Additionally, unless included in "Zone A" or "Zone B" above, Toyota is recalling certain 2006\-2008 Lexus IS250 and IS350, 2007\-2008 Lexus ES350, Toyota Yaris, Yaris HB, and 2008 Lexus IS\-F and Scion xB vehicles originally sold, or ever registered in Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming.    These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment.  In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.


## What can happen

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Toyota will notify the Toyota, Scion and Lexus owners.  General Motors will contact the Pontiac owners.  Depending on the model, dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator or the air bag assembly, free of charge.  The recall began on February 1, 2017.  Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331, or Pontiac customer service at 1\-800\-762\-2737.  Toyota's numbers for final remedy for this campaign are G0P \(Toyota Zone A\), G0R \(Toyota Zone B\), H0A \(Toyota Zone C\), GLG \(Lexus Zone A\), GLH \(Lexus Zone B\) and HLA \(Lexus Zone C\).
