The short answer
NHTSA received Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing’s report on Dec 21, 2016. Copied from NHTSA on Oct 19, 2026.
Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
The improper inflation of the passenger air bag may increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling one 2016 Toyota 4Runner vehicle manufactured November 1, 2016 and one 2017 Lexus GX460 vehicle manufactured November 16, 2016.
The affected vehicles are equipped with Takata PSPI-LD front passenger air bag inflators that may have been manufactured without ignition booster tablets.
As a result, in the event of a crash, the air bag may not fully inflate during deployment of the primary stage.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
