The Takata airbag inflator replacement is completely free of charge for the affected units, takes less than an hour, with no service fees, hidden costs or conditions, regardless of vehicle age or ownership history. Owners of affected Toyota models, including Alphard 2002-2017, Corolla 2003-2010, Sequoia 2002-2017, Yaris Hatchback 2005-2008, Yaris 2005-2011, and RAV4 2003-2005, are urged to check their VIN and book the recall repair immediately. Owners of affected Lexus models, including ES350 2006-2011, GX460 2010-2016, IS Convertible 2010-2015, IS350/250 2006-2012, LS F 2011-2013, RX 2016-2017, and SC430 2001-2009, are also advised to verify their VIN without delay.

Dubai, UAE: In line with its commitment to customer safety, Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus are launching 'Don't Risk It, Fix It', an enhanced Takata Airbag Recall campaign calling on owners of affected models who have not yet responded to previous safety notices to take action now.

Given the recall is not new, it still remains the largest automotive safety recall in history, affecting millions of vehicles across multiple manufacturers worldwide. The airbag inflators in affected models degrade over time, in a process that is significantly accelerated by high heat and humidity. In the UAE's extreme climate, unrepaired vehicles continue to face an ongoing safety risk. However, this risk can be addressed through a free airbag inflator replacement.

Commenting on the campaign, Jacques Brent, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus, said:“This campaign is about one thing: keeping our valued customers safe. A vehicle that drives and feels perfectly fine may still be carrying this risk undetected. Checking your VIN takes minutes, the repair costs nothing, and the peace of mind it brings is everything. We are urging every affected owner to act today, and bring their Toyota and Lexus vehicles in for quick and cost-free airbag replacement.”
