Yes, I went to the dealer who is selling this vehicle and none of the 9 recalls have been corrected. Disturbing! I checked the safety site for the information

My horn stopped working a month ago-replaced relay-now airbag light is on- after reaading complaints, seems the two are related and recalled on earlier versions

'takata recall' the steering wheel appears to have a bulge at the airbag seams. Both my personal mechanic and the workers at the Toyota dealership have stated this is a defect involving the airbag where the cover has detached from the sensors or a coil. The separation is internal. The vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and was parked(stationary) when the bulge occurred.

Many Toyota were recalled because of the airbags but I don't understand why my truck was not. Last year my horn started to act up and someone at the Toyota repair center commented that it may be due to the airbags. Just to look at it there is a charge of over $100 to repair it would cost me over $200 now my horn works when when I push the panic button but not in the steering column. I thought I read that there were other vehicles in the same year that were recalled.

The air bags failed to deploy. A police report was not filed. There were two injuries that required medical attention. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact referenced NHTSA campaign number: 13V014000 (air bags, seats). The VIN was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 63,000. The manufacturer was not notified.

Takata recall should be extended to 2011 Toyota Tacoma. The horn stopped working so I took the car into a Toyota certified mechanic. They said this was caused by spiral cable problem with the air bag in the steering wheel. They had seen this problem several times before and said it was a known issue for them with the Toyota Tacoma, but not covered by a recall yet. Given that this is a known manufacturing defect - and results in a potentially life threatening air bag failure, the air bags should be recalled and replaced without cost to the owners. The problem developed over many months as the horn became increasingly intermittent until it completely stopped working.

Horn stopped working, so did the cruise control.airbag light is on sometimes dealer said I need a new clock spring and air bag because the horn switch is inside the airbag.
- Warwick, RI, USA
The horn stopped working, spiral cable is bad, which also affects the airbag. This has been recalled on all previous models of this generation Tacoma and needs to be recalled for the 2011 as well

Both frontal air bags failed to deploy and the accelerator pedal was stuck to the floorboard. The driver was killed. A police report was filed and the vehicle was towed away. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 20,000...updated 08/11/14 updated 10/28/14

The spiral cable failed. The spiral cable connects the horn button and driver's airbag to the rest of the car. When it fails, the airbag and horn won't work. Toyota already recalled the spiral cable on '05-'09 Tacoma's. the spiral cables are still failing, so they need to recall later years and fix them too.
