Toyota has recalled 625 units of the Toyota Kluger Petrol (TXUA70 & TXUA75) & Kluger Hybrid (AXUH78) 2023 models due to an issue with the driver’s side airbag.

The driver-side airbag wiring harness connection may become loose over time. As a result, the airbag warning light will illuminate and the driver-side airbag will not deploy.

In the event of an accident, an airbag not deploying as intended could increase the risk of injury or death to vehicle occupants.

When parts become available, Toyota will contact affected owners in writing requesting they make an appointment with their nearest authorised Toyota dealer for inspection and if necessary rectify, free of charge.
