# NHTSA recall 18V025000 A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups. - Published by: NHTSA \(United States\) - Campaign number: 18V025000 - Manufacturer's number: G0R, H0A, J0A - Manufacturer: Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing - Reported: 2018\-01\-09 - Owners notified: 2018\-01\-29 - Component: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:PASSENGER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE - Units potentially affected: 116126 ## What is wrong On January 9, 2018, Toyota Motor Engineering \& Manufacturing \(Toyota\) notified NHTSA that they are recalling 14,585 model year 2010\-2012 Yaris vehicles ever registered in the states of Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. As of January 30, 2018, Toyota is additionally recalling 3,347 model year 2010 Pontiac Vibe vehicles located in states listed above. Also included in this recall filing is 98,194 model year 2003\-2008 Toyota Corolla Matrix vehicles, located throughout the U.S., that previously received a “like\-for\-like” interim air bag inflator replacement. 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 explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling. ## What can happen An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death. ## The remedy Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag assemblies with an alternate inflator, free of charge. The recall began on January 29, 2018. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1\-800\-331\-4331. Toyota's numbers for this recall are G0R \(Zone B\), and H0A \(Zone C\), J0A \(Matrix Zone A\), J0A \(Matrix Zone A\), J0A \(Matrix Zone A\). ## Notes Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov. ## Remedy progress the manufacturer reported - Report: Quarterly report 15, for 2021 quarter 3 - Filed with NHTSA: 2021\-10\-22 - Vehicles in the campaign: 116126 - Reported remedied: 82937 \(71%\) - Reported unreachable: 3564 - Reported removed: 16119 These are the manufacturer's totals for the whole campaign at the end of 2021 quarter 3, as filed with NHTSA.
