AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
In the event of a crash, air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners that do not deploy as intended may increase the risk of injury.
9 safety recall campaigns, 2 defect investigations (1 open), 690 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.

Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
Two 2011 TOYOTA COROLLAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
