If this happens, the airbag warning light will light up during an emergency, however the airbag will not deploy.
“In the event of an accident, an airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants,” the department said.
When parts become available, Toyota will contact affected customers in writing to schedule an appointment.
If any work needs to be carried out, it will be done free of charge.
Customers who want more information should contact the Toyota Recall Assist helpline on 1800 987 366 or email recallsupport@toyota.dataresponse.com.au.
