The automobile manufacturer said an electrical connection inside the steering column’s spiral cable assembly may be insufficiently welded, causing the connection to separate and deactivate the driver’s airbag.

Toyota also stated that failure of the driver’s airbag to deploy as intended increases the risk of injury for consumers in a crash

As regards what to do in addressing the fault, the company noted the dealers would inspect and replace the spiral cable assembly — if necessary — free of charge.
