Concern

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Defect, as DVSA words it

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the airbag.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.

Toyota (gb) Plc elsewhere in this register

Toyota (gb) Plc is named on 248 notices in the copy of the DVSA’s register held here, of which these are the nearest to this one in time.

The same concern: PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY

14 notices in this register name PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY. A defect that keeps returning under one heading is worth reading as a group rather than one notice at a time.

Reading this against the source

This page is what the DVSA published in its file of vehicle recalls, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /uk-recalls, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.

This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Toyota Corolla, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
