2012 Scion Xb Recalls & Complaints

The 2012 Scion xB has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can rupture and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

All four recalls address the same defect in the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator. The filings cover vehicles sold or ever registered in high-humidity states and territories including Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and Puerto Rico, among others. Moisture exposure over time degrades the inflator, making it prone to an explosive rupture during deployment. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across the affected population, which is why multiple rounds of recalls were issued. If this vehicle has not been serviced under these recalls, the passenger airbag poses a serious risk to anyone seated in the front right seat.
