18V776000 · Air Bags: Air Bag/Restraint Control Module

Reported: 2018-11-01 (November 1, 2018) · Model years: 2004, 2005, 2006

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2004-2006 Toyota Scion xA vehicles. The air bag control module for the supplemental restraint system (SRS ECU) may experience an internal short, possibly causing the air bags to unintentionally deploy, or become deactivated.

Consequence: If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners unintentionally deploy, it can increase the risk of a crash. If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners are deactivated, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.

Remedy: Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the SRS ECU, and if necessary, replace the air bag control module, free of charge. The recall began December 21, 2018. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-888-270-9371. Toyota's number for this recall is J0W.

MY CAR IS A 2004 PRIUS PURCHASED AUGUST 2004. ON APRIL 18, I HAD BEEN DRIVING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES, THEN STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN. UPON RESUMING DRIVING, A WARNING LIGHT (TRIANGLE/EXCLAMATION MARK) AND THE HYBRID SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT (EXCLAMATION MARK OVER A CAR) CAME ON. THERE WAS NO WARNING SOUND. INITIALLY, THE CAR STILL RAN, SO I CONTINUED AT LOW SPEED (<30MPH) AND HAD MY PASSENGER LOOK UP WHAT TO DO. AS I CONTINUED, I REALIZED THE POWER WAS LESSENING, SO AFTER ABOUT A MILE, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND PARKED. AT THAT POINT, I COULD NOT GE…

Symptom: When brakes are applied, car will violently jerk to the left into the path of oncoming traffic. Countersteering to prevent collision results in left front tire skidding with poor braking. Cause: Initially, the suspected cause was a failed right front brake caliper. However, upon investigation, it was found that the ABS braking module was blocking all brake fluid from going to the right front caliper. Solution: ABS braking module must be replaced. Comment: It should be assumed that if one front wheel brake is disabled, then the…
