According to Toyota, an electrical connection inside the steering column's spiral cable assembly may not be welded properly. This can cause the connection to separate and deactivate the driver's air bag.
The spiral cables caused a recall of more than 100,000 vehicles in July, then a few months later the Toyota recall was expanded to about 150,000 vehicles.
Toyota and Lexus recall letters will be mailed at the end of March 2025, and dealers will replace the spiral cable assemblies if necessary.
