Toyota is recalling 487,000 Avensis T25s manufactured between 2002 and 2006 to workshops worldwide. The reason for the measure is a chemical decomposition of the propellant in the driver’s airbag gas generator, which can cause the gas generator to burst if the airbag is triggered. In Germany, 76,499 vehicles are affected.
The driver airbags are replaced in the workshop. The KBA is monitoring the measure under the reference number “012352”, and the internal designation is “22SMD-115”.
