If you drive a Toyota, Lexus or Hino vehicle manufactured between 2002 and 2017, there is an important safety message you cannot afford to ignore.
Toyota South Africa Motors has launched Dont Risk It, Fix It , a renewed nationwide safety campaign urging motorists to complete outstanding Takata airbag repairs. While the recall itself is not new, the danger remains very real and thousands of South African vehicles are still on the road with potentially defective airbags.
Why this mattersThe Takata airbag recall is the largest safety recall in automotive history, affecting millions of vehicles worldwide from multiple brands. Over time, certain airbag inflators can degrade, particularly in hot and humid conditions. If damaged airbags deploy in a collision, they can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injuries or even fatalities.
