Default Airbags :(

Got a call this afternoon out of the blue from the Toyota dealer who looks after my daily. They want my Avensis back in ASAP for an airbag recall. I'm due an MOT and service in 5 weeks, but they said this can't wait to be done then, so I assume its rather serious. Its been back before twice for airbags!

Had the same message from Nissan,included a photo of the passenger air bag,which showed the casing shattered when air bag inflates.Maybe the same supplier. 2006 nissan x trail.

Yes he said its passenger side so I guess its the same part! I am still using it as I don't have front passengers except rare occasions my mate comes over!

I've only ever had one recall on a car in all my years of driving, It was a Renault 25 and the problem was with a fuse for the radiator fan, It must have around 14 years old when I owned it Lovely car to drive, I remember watching all the apprentice mechs coming over to look at it.
