That's why today we're here to provide you with information about the latest Toyota recall. On Wednesday, the company announced that around 752,000 Corolla and Corolla Matrix and several similar models in Canada, Japan, and Mexico that were manufactured from December 2001 to May 2004 are being recalled due to their air bags- which can improperly inflate.
Several Lexus vehicles were also recalled, but we'll focus on the fact that some used Corolla airbags have the propensity to inflate improperly. USA Today explains the issue, stating, "Toyota says the air bag control module for the supplemental restraint system in the Corolla and Corolla Matrix vehicles could have been manufactured with faulty circuit boards. If it malfunctions, it could cause a short, causing a buildup of heat or potentially causing the air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy when there hasn't been a crash.1
