Toyota recalling 4,100 curtain shield airbag service parts

Published on July 31, 2026

Toyota is recalling 4,100 service parts involving certain curtain shield airbag (CSA) assemblies produced from December 2021 to December 2025, according to a news release. 

CSA assemblies deploy from the roof side rails in certain types of collisions, the release states. Some were sold as replacement parts for certain model year (MY) 2014-2021 Toyota Tundra CrewMax and Double Cab, along with MY 2016-2023 Tacoma models, that may not have been manufactured properly and may not deploy as intended. 

This could reduce occupant restraint performance and increase the risk of injury during certain crashes, the release says. 

Owners of MY 2014 to MY 2021 Toyota Tundra CrewMax and Double Cab vehicles who are known to have had a curtain shield airbag replacement part installed after November 2021 will be notified and requested to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. 

Owners of MY 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma vehicles known to have a replacement part installed after May 2024 will be notified and requested to return their vehicles to a Toyota dealer. 

Dealers will inspect the vehicles for the affected replacement parts and will replace any affected curtain shield airbag assemblies that are found at no cost. 

Owners of the models who believe one or both curtain shield airbags were replaced due to a collision, malfunction, or other issue after the dates noted above should take their vehicle to a dealer for inspection even if they do not receive a notification, the release states. 

Dealers will also be notified and asked to identify any such parts sold to body shop/collision repair facilities and any vehicles that may have had a replacement part installed. Owners identified will also be notified as above. 

Notifications are slated to be sent to owners by late September. Other owners will be notified as their contact information is received. 

To see if your vehicle is involved in a safety recall, visit Toyota.com/recall or nhtsa.gov/recalls  and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) or license plate information.

For additional questions, contact the Toyota Brand Engagement Center at 1-800-331-4331.
