Hearing that they told you both driver and passenger airbags need to be recalled is worrisome


The driver’s side airbag is easier to change anyway. I assume it will take less than 2 mins for them. Just call them and they will tell you. I think that you will have to change it too.
The passenger side is the hard one thought,because they have to take off the whole dash. I am worried about it because they may scratch something or not screw it back, properly.

That was a concern of mine, too. Fortunately, the dealership I went to did a fantastic job. My inside/outside air selector actually worked better after the airbag change than prior to. I wonder if they broke it during the swap and replaced it, because it truly feels better than ever.

I think I still have the link to the vin checker, so I'll have to keep an eye out for word on the driver side.

Vin check for me wasn’t helpful.
It showed that I have no recalls whatsoever, but I had 3.
Just call them and ask. I called Toyota support they answered the phone right away, they asked me my license plate and the told me what recalls I have.

I think you were lucky. I wish they will make nice job to me too.
I called them they will order the parts and when they arrive, I will arrange an appointment.

I went today and the changed both my airbags and my window driver switch on the driver’s side.
I think they did a good job placing the dash back again.

**Update:
I found many screw marks in the dash...
