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.
2 safety recall campaigns, 1 defect investigation (1 open), 10 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
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.
An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
Two 2011 TOYOTA MATRIXs 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.
