2005 Toyota Corolla Matrix

The 2005 Toyota Corolla Matrix has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, with the most serious risk being an inflator rupture that can send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

Three of the recalls address the rupture risk, with geographic scope varying based on humidity and climate exposure. Vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity regions, including Florida, Gulf Coast states, Hawaii, and U.S. territories, are covered under one filing, while other filings extend coverage to a broader range of states. There is also a fourth recall covering vehicles where the front passenger airbag assembly was previously replaced under an earlier recall, as that replacement part may not unfold correctly during deployment in high temperatures, leaving the airbag underinflated and less able to protect the occupant in a crash.
