For the 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross, complaints spread across several systems with no single dominant theme, but engine and airbag concerns draw the most reports. On the engine side, owners describe coolant-related failures, specifically a coolant bypass valve that leaks and triggers error codes, typically surfacing around 40,000 miles. Airbag complaints center on non-deployment in collisions that owners felt should have triggered the system, along with reports of a knee bolster airbag not inflating correctly and seatbelts releasing during impact. Steering rounds out the top three reported systems, though the complaint volume across all categories is relatively modest for a vehicle with 42 total reports. A handful of owners also describe a rear side window shattering spontaneously at highway speed with no obvious external cause, though that pattern appears in only a small number of reports.

With Injuries
By System
The 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross has 2 recalls, both centered on the same issue: the instrument panel may be missing a required perforation that allows the front-passenger airbag to deploy correctly in a crash.
The instrument panel needs a specific perforated section so the airbag can break through it during a collision. Without that perforation, the airbag may not deploy as intended, raising the risk of injury to the front passenger. A prior inspection attempt at dealerships did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, so this recall extends the remedy to vehicles where the problem may still be present.
