Consumer Description

UPON GETTING THE ECU RECALL TAKEN CARE OF FOR MY VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY AIR BAG INDICATOR DASH LIGHT WAS LIT BECAUSE OF ERROR CODE B1181 WHICH, I WAS TOLD BY THE TOYOTA SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE, IS CAUSED BY A WORN SPIRAL CABLE. HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE MY AIR BAGS TO NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. EARLIER THAT DAY, I HAD THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL REMEDIED ON MY 2008 TOYOTA YARIS. THIS IS INCONSISTENT AND DANGEROUS TO FIX A PROBLEM IN ONE VEHICLE AND NOT IN ANOTHER. I'M ASKING THAT THE SPIRAL CABLE RECALL BE EXTENDED TO ALL APPLICABLE VEHICLES.
