IS Recall - March 28, 2006 - Smaller Impact
Make : LEXUS Model : IS Year : 2006
Manufacturer : TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 06V096000 Recall Date : MAR 28, 2006
Component: AIR BAGS
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 133
Summary:
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, DUE TO IMPROPER ASSEMBLY OF THE AIR BAG INFLATOR, WHICH IS USED IN THE SIDE AIR BAG, THE CURTAIN SHIELD AIR BAG, AND THE KNEE AIR BAG ASSEMBLY, SOME INFLATORS WERE PRODUCED WITH AN INSUFFICIENT AMOUNT OF THE HEATING AGENTS NECESSARY FOR PROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. IN THIS CONDITION, THE EXPANSION FORCE OF THE GAS MAY BE INSUFFICIENT TO PROPERLY INFLATE THE AIR BAG WHEN THE SRS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED DURING A CRASH.

I appreciate it........I never saw it.............I'm still waiting for OFFICIAL notification of the seat belt recall. I'll have to ask about these at the 5k checkup. Thanks!

How in the world do they find out something for a recall if it only needs to be on 133 of them? Isn't it usually after a few crashes and something doesn't work right that they would even be able to find something like this?
Anyway, I never saw this post before either and I appreciate the post.

I never received a letter but called the dealer to see if I needed a new seatbelt, gave them my VIN and apprently my car isn't part of the seatbelt recall. I'm guessing if you don't receive a letter give your dealer a call just to make sure.
