Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing a anuntat ca sunt vizate de un recall masiv aproape 100.000 de masini Corolla Cross care au probeme cu sistemele de siguranta.
Este vorba de componente electronice ale masinii, insa si cu sistemul SRS airbag.
Din cauza problemelor de productie aceste masini au sistemul frontal de airbag montat gresit, acesta putand sa loveasca soferul sau pasagerul cu bucati de plastic care nu se desprin in momentul declansarii.
Adica, daca se activeaza airbag-ul, plastivul din volan sau din plansa de bord este directionata violent spre fata soferului si a pasagerului.
“The instrument panel is designed to contain a perforation that will open during front passenger airbag deployment. Due to incorrectly followed production work instructions in the instrument panel milling process at a certain supplier, there is a possibility that the instrument panel was produced without the perforation.
This could result in an airbag deployment in a manner other than as designed in the event of a crash of the type that would cause deployment.”
