PLANO, Texas (Updated Oct. 28, 2024) — Toyota has initiated a voluntary safety recall concerning certain 2024 model year Toyota Grand Highlander and Lexus TX vehicles. This Toyota Airbag Recall affects approximately 145,000 vehicles in the United States. The reason for this recall is a potential issue with the curtain shield airbags, designed to protect occupants in specific side-impact collisions.

To address this toyota airbag recall, Toyota and Lexus dealerships will replace the current curtain shield airbags with enhanced versions. This repair will be conducted free of charge to vehicle owners, underscoring Toyota’s commitment to safety and customer satisfaction.
