It's been a couple of months, but Toyota is back in the news
for another U.S. recall. This time, a faulty roll-angle sensor for the side
curtain airbag system has resulted in "some reports of minor injuries" for
drivers of 2007-08 RAV4s, Highlanders, and Highlander Hybrids.
The recall has been issued after the company was notified
that the side curtain airbags and seatbelt pretensions were being activated inadvertently.
Resulting injuries include the driver being cut by the seatbelt webbing when it
was "retracted with high-speed movement in conjunction with activation of the
seatbelt pretensioner."
Although the recall is being announced now, it's said not to
begin until mid-day. At that time, Toyota dealers will replace the roll sensor
assembly.
Has the number of Toyota recalls in the U.S. made you change
your opinion of the company? Have you been affected by any of them?
