The problem
Toyota is recalling certain model year 2010 corolla vehicles for failing to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "Occupant crash protection." The air bag label installed on the driver side sun visor can separate from the surface of the visor.
The risk
THIS DOES NOT MEET THE STANDARD REQUIREMENTS.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the label and exchange the driver's side sun visor free of charge. The recall began on september 3, 2009. Owners may contact toyota at 1-800-331-4331.
