2004 Toyota Sequoia Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2004 Toyota Sequoia has 4 recalls, all centered on the same critical defect: the passenger-side frontal airbag inflator can rupture in a crash and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

These are all part of the broad Takata airbag recall campaign. Some filings specifically cover vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity coastal regions, including Florida, the Gulf Coast, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and several U.S. territories, where moisture accelerates the degradation that makes rupture more likely. If you are unsure whether your specific vehicle has been repaired, checking your VIN against Toyota's recall database is the most reliable way to confirm status.
