• Passenger air bag inflator. Recall 18V887000 impacts 89,740 vehicles from 2008-2019 models. A broken seat belt tension sensor wire harness can deactivate the front passenger air bag, knee air bag, and seat-mounted side airbag. Deactivated airbags increase injury risk during a crash. Dealers will modify or replace the front passenger seat belt assembly free of charge.

• Incorrect air bag assemblies. Recall 17V548000 covers 21 vehicles from 2008-2013 LX570. Some vehicles have incorrect driver or front passenger air bags that may fail to deploy properly. This noncompliance with safety standards may lead to injury in crashes. Dealers will replace affected air bag assemblies free of charge.
