I have been sent two different recalls on my cars airbags. I had one repaired. I do not know how to tell what repairs were were not done. They’ve all been marked as being done yet. Four years later less than four years later my airbag warning light is on. I’m concerned that supposedly the sensor was a rotating and warmer climate and then it was that it would propel shop objects and now I don’t have a recall, but I’ve had a light on, and of course, now other Toyotas of the same group that mine is usually in Corolla Tacoma on and on , I’m having a similar problem with the light being on and I’m very concerned that one are both of those airbags are not properly working. I’ve tried to explain to Toyota that I need to be able to identify and have problems fixed that are due to their manufacturing issues. my mats were never fixed by Toyota. I had to fix them myself. Having this repair investigated is going to cost me a lot of money and what I’m gonna find out. I bet is that other colors were recalled for it. What’s the likelihood that my car still has airbag issues , especially where all the recalls are marked is done and I know that I only had took it in once to have it fixed and that was for the sensor and I don’t even know how the parts the flying parts play into this. I hope you can find out if Ty should be expanding this recall, or if they’re just getting nailed with the recent ones Because there’s not enough 2009 Corolla on the road anymore to justify a recall .

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
UNKNOWN airbag light is on and never goes off. This worries me because it could affect my safety.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 toyota corolla. The contact stated that a recall notification was received with the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v741000 (air bags) and the vehicle was taken to lynch toyota located at 179 tolland turnpike, manchester, ct 06042, (860) 464-4321) where the repair was completed. The contact stated that when the vehicle was picked up, the door locks of the vehicle failed to close securely. The contact informed the dealer about the doors failure. The contact also stated that the air bag warning light remained illuminated. The dealer informed the contact that there was a defect with the driver side air bag which needed to be repaired or replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 128,000.
The passenger side air bag "off" light, warning light and main airbag light come on for no apparent reason and remain on. The vehicle had been parked and we have never had this message before. Error code b1650 and b1797. The error can not be cleared. The "fix" is to replace the floor harness then the central air bag ecu and then the seat assembly until it is fixed. Aprx $5000. 2 toyota mechanics gave us different diagnostic, one telling us there was corrosion and the other saying there was a broken wire. Independent checking of the harness showed neither. I am from canada but thought I should submit this here also since I see complaints for this issue in the u.s,
Brought car to toyota in las vegas for some work and brought a recall notice. Tech.said they would have to order and they would contact me and never did.airbag light comes on
Takata recall airbag warning light illuminated. Dealer claims no replacement for airbags for several months. Refuses to evaluate without charging.
So on the driver's side of the car the air bag light is always on even when the car isn't on. I went to the toyota dealership and stated the problem that I had and they insisted that I had to pay, when I got a letter from toyota remedy notice stating that stye can cover for fixing the air bag light. I have the letter with me directly from toyota. So I don't understand why I have to pay for it when I go to the dealership. This absolutely makes no sense and I feel like they are purposely trying to make money off of me. When I have a letter from toyota stating they can pay for the damage.

Recall number 16V340000 · Recall details
Air bags: frontal: driver side: inflator module
- What is wrong
- Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2008 RAV4, 2006-2010 Yaris, 2008-2010 Highlander, and 2009-2010 Tacoma, Corolla, Corolla Matrix and General Motors Pontiac Vibe vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the steering column assembly contains electrical connections to the driver's airbag module housed in a spiral cable assembly, which includes a Flexible Flat Cable (FFC). Due to the shape and location of the FFC's retainer, the FFC could become damaged when the steering wheel is turned.
- Risk
- If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.
- Remedy
- Toyota will notify the Toyota vehicle owners, and General Motors will notify the Pontiac Vibe owners. Toyota sent owners an interim notification letter in May 2014 to advise owners of the recall. Toyota will mail owners a second letter when remedy parts are available. General Motors sent Pontiac Vibe owners an Interim letter on June 20, 2014 notifying them that parts are currently unavailable.
