Affected vehicles can receive a replacement airbag inflator completely free of charge at authorised Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus service centres across the UAE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recall itself is not new. Takata airbags have been involved in one of the largest automotive safety recalls globally, affecting vehicles produced by several manufacturers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-why-are-takata-airbags-being-recalled\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Why Are Takata Airbags Being Recalled?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The issue involves certain Takata airbag inflators. Over time, the propellant inside affected inflators can deteriorate, particularly following prolonged exposure to high temperatures and humidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If an affected airbag deploys, excessive pressure can potentially cause the inflator to rupture. This may send metal fragments into the vehicle&#8217;s cabin and create a serious risk of injury to occupants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The UAE&#8217;s hot climate makes it particularly important for owners of older affected vehicles to check whether the required repair has already been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A car may otherwise drive normally without showing any warning signs related to the affected airbag inflator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-toyota-models-affected-by-the-takata-recall-in-the-uae\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Toyota Models Affected By The Takata Recall In The UAE<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\"  src=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"toyota lexus recall UAE\" class=\"wp-image-33435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/d3jvxfsgjxj1vz.cloudfront.net\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/06123510\/2021-Toyota-Yaris-Cross-16.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Al-Futtaim Toyota is asking owners of the following models and model years to check their Vehicle Identification Number, or VIN:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Toyota Alphard:<\/strong> 2002\u20132017<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toyota Corolla:<\/strong> 2003\u20132010<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toyota Sequoia:<\/strong> 2002\u20132017<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toyota Yaris Hatchback:<\/strong> 2005\u20132008<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toyota Yaris:<\/strong> 2005\u20132011<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Toyota RAV4:<\/strong> 2003\u20132005<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being within one of these model-year ranges does not automatically mean a particular vehicle needs repair.

This means owners who purchased an affected Toyota or Lexus as a used car can still have the recall work completed at no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technicians at authorised Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus service centres in the UAE carry out repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-how-to-check-your-toyota-or-lexus\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How To Check Your Toyota Or Lexus<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Owners can check their vehicles in three steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Check the VIN: Enter the vehicle&#8217;s 17-digit VIN on the official Toyota UAE or Lexus UAE recall website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Book the repair: Schedule an appointment online or contact Toyota on 800 23668677 or Lexus on 800 53987.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Complete the replacement: Take the affected vehicle to an authorised Al-Futtaim Toyota or Lexus service centre.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can usually find the 17-digit VIN on the vehicle&#8217;s registration card, or Mulkiya, and on the vehicle itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-should-used-toyota-amp-lexus-owners-check-their-cars\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should Used Toyota &amp; Lexus Owners Check Their Cars?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes.
