HÀ NỘI — Việt Nam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has announced a recall programme to check and replace airbag inflator modules in the front passenger airbag of Toyota Vios models produced and assembled by Toyota Việt Nam (TMV) and Toyota Yaris models imported and distributed by TMV. The recall programme covers 18,138 locally-assembled Vios cars produced between January 5, 2009 and December 29, 2012, and 1,877 imported Yaris cars produced from September 1, 2009 to August 31, 2012. The Toyota Việt Nam dealership network nationwide will offer free checks and replacements for all relevant airbag inflator modules on Toyota Vios cars produced and assembled domestically and those imported. For Yaris models which were not imported and officially distributed by TMV, if the request is received from customers, TMV will contact the global Recall Programme of Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) to confirm information. Once getting official approval from TMC, Toyota Việt Nam will check and replace the airbag inflator module of the front passenger airbag of affected vehicles at no cost.
