NHTSA recall 05V254000
Air Bags · Toyota Motor Corporation
Details
What's wrong: Certain pickup trucks fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 225, 'child restraint anchorage systems.' These vehicles have a manual air bag on-off switch to disable the front passenger air bag and do not have a child restraint lower anchorage system in the front passenger seat. This specification does not meet the standard requirements.
Why it matters: This standard establishes requirements for child restraint anchorage systems to ensure their proper location and strength for the effective securing of child restraints, to reduce the likelihood of the anchorage systems' failure, and to increase the likelihood that child restraints are properly…
The fix: Dealers will remove the manual air bag on-off switch, replace the owner's manual, and affix a new sun visor air bag warning label. The recall began in early January 2007.
