    Has anyone heard anything about this Safety Recall? I apologize if this has already been posted or if this is the wrong forum sub-group. Toyota has stated it is unrelated to the Takata airbag issues; here is the verbiage from the Toyota Owner's site:

    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.

    thank you. yes, there are a few threads. i don't think there's anything to do until the notice comes, and the dealer gets the parts.
