    Only 1 search result at link next line, that I found
    2010-2012 Model Year Prius and PiPs: Curtain Shield Airbag
    a Safety Recall?
    I searched and did not find much
    How long did the repairs take, parts on hand at dealer, looks like they have to disassemble half the inside roof?
    Who's had it done??? Any problems?


    other info:
    curtain shield airbags (CSA) in the driver and passenger side roof rails that have air bag inflators composed of two chambers welded together. Some inflators could have a small crack in the weld area joining the chambers, which could grow over time, and lead to the separation of the inflator chambers. This has been observed when the vehicle is parked and unoccupied for a period of time. If an inflator separates, the CSA could partially inflate, and, in limited circumstances, one or both sections of the inflator could enter the interior of the vehicle. If an occupant is present in the vehicle, there is an increased risk of injury.

    Since u have not pursued this, WHY not?

    Found info at Toy.com below,

    Safety Recall G0U - Remedy Notice Certain 2010 - 2012 Model Year Prius Certain 2010 and 2012 Model Year Prius Plug-In Curtain Shield Air Bag
    Status
    Remedy Available
    Description
    The involved vehicles are equipped with curtain shield air bags (CSA) in the driver and passenger side roof rails that have air bag inflators composed of two chambers welded together. Some inflators could have a small crack in the weld area joining the chambers, which could grow over time, and lead to the separation of the inflator chambers. This has been observed when the vehicle is parked and unoccupied for a period of time. If an inflator separates, the CSA could partially inflate, and, in limited circumstances, one or both sections of the inflator could enter the interior of the vehicle. If an occupant is present in the vehicle, there is an increased risk of injury.
    Remedy
    Toyota dealers will install retention brackets on the curtain shield air bag inflators at NO CHARGE.
