Another aircraft-related auto recall hit us, this time from Toyota. Specifically, the automaker is recalling approximately 96,000 Corolla Cross models from 2022 and 2023 sold in North America because of a possible problem with the passenger-side airbag deployment system.

According to Toyota, there are no problems with the actual airbags. Instead, there could be a problem with the part of the dashboard that houses the passenger airbag. In an email to Motor1.com, a Toyota spokesperson explained that a hole in the dashboard that opens during airbag deployment may not be present in some vehicle models. According to the spokesperson, this was the result of “inaccurate adherence to manufacturing work instructions during the equipment panel milling process at a certain supplier.” The absence of a perforation could prevent the airbag from deploying properly in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
