Toyota Tacoma side curtain air bag recalled for deployment risk

Certain side curtain air bag assemblies sold as replacement parts for 2016–2023 Toyota Tacoma vehicles may not be properly secured to their mounting bracket. This can cause the air bag to deploy incorrectly during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

  • Bring your Tacoma to a Toyota dealer for a free inspection and replacement of the air bag assembly if needed.
  • Reference Toyota recall numbers 26TK02 or 26TH02 when you contact the dealer.
