The 2007 Toyota Corolla Matrix has 4 recalls, all involving the front passenger airbag inflator, with the most serious risk being an inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Three of the four recalls address this rupture risk, with geographic scoping playing a role: one targets vehicles in high-humidity regions such as Florida, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and certain U.S. territories, while another covers vehicles registered in a broader range of lower-humidity states. The fourth recall applies to vehicles that had their front passenger airbag replaced under a prior recall, as that replacement inflator can fail to unfold correctly during deployment in high temperatures, leaving the airbag underinflated and less protective in a crash.
