Takata recall although a test of my VIN number in the federal safety agency database came up negative on the takata recall, there have been credible reports, by the new york times ,USA today, and automobile enthusiast websites, that 2002 tundras do have defective takata airbags. Some reports are specific in saying the bags are in tundras sold in the gulf states, which is the distributor for my dealer in jackson, miss. Can you investigate this discrepancy? It is troubling that credible sources seems to be in conflict, especially in light of the very specific facts relating to tundras sold in the gulf states region. Thank you. Here are some of the websites reporting the 2002 tundra is subject to recall: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2014/10/20/toyota-airbag-recall-takata/17610199/ http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/10/22/business/22takata-table-2-cols.html http://www.tundraheadquarters.com/blog/toyota-takata-air-bag-recall/.

The airbag light is flashing and I am concerned that there is a problem related to the airbag recall that does not include the 2002 model year toyota tundra.
Our 2002 tundra airbags have stopped working and a warning light has appeared, per mechanic they will not inflate if there is an accident. When I enter the VIN it states that my truck is not included in the recall.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2002 toyota tundra. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v285000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
While driving on the interstate I made a sudden lane change to avoid an officer I believe was returning to the highway and a car suddenly came to a stop in front of me. I attempted to go around the car but it moved in my path again and we hit at full speed. I hit my nose on the steering wheel and totaled the other car. I am bothered by the fact that my airbag did not deploy. These are original airbags. I drive in fear of another accident that could save my life and the airbag does deploy.
Tl*the contact owned a 2002 toyota tundra. The driver lost consciousness while driving approximately 35 MPH, and crashed into a telephone pole. The vehicle was destroyed.

Icy road conditions caused a direct collision of my 2002 tundra with a tree at approximately 30 MPH. The front bumper radiator and all parts in between were pushed back into the engine from this impact; however, the air bag did not deploy resulting in driver injuries.
While driving 30 MPH vehicle was involved in a frontal collision. Upon impact, frontal air bags did not deploy. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
Vehicle has driver & passenger air bags - in front end collision at 45 MPH neither air bag deployed, driver side seat belt did not lock so driver hit steering column with full impact - there was no passenger in the vehicle at the time of the accident. Nlm
