Toyota Australia has today announced that it will initiate a safety recall involving HiLux WorkMate and SR cab-chassis vehicles produced between late August 2021 - late October 2021 (inclusive). There are 1,365 vehicles involved in the Australian market.
In the airbag system of involved vehicles, due to an improper setting of the production equipment, there is a possibility that the occupant classification system may not be calibrated. In this condition, the front passenger airbag may not deploy in a collision.
For all involved vehicles, Toyota Dealers will inspect and if required re-calibrate the occupant classifications system free of charge to vehicle owners. It is expected that this will take approximately 30 minutes. However, depending upon the Dealer's work schedule, it may be necessary for the owner to make the vehicle available for a longer period of time.
