Toyota recalls 2.9 million vehicles to fix faulty airbags
Toyota Motor Corp. is recalling 2.9 million vehicles in China, Japan, Europe and other regions to fix potentially faulty airbags.
The recall affects the automaker's Corolla Axio sedan and RAV4 crossover.
The latest recalls are part of a wider recall of airbags that use inflators made by Takata Corp. Those recalls have affected a number of global automakers.
The airbag inflators in question use ammonium nitrate propellant, which can degrade after prolonged exposure to heat and moisture.
When the airbag deploys, the inflators can explode and spew metal shards into the cabin.
