Companies

Toyota has issued a statement on the Takata airbag recalls:

"We fully recognise the concerns regarding the recall of vehicles with Takata airbags. Toyota is fully committed to the safety of Toyota owners and has conducted several recall campaigns over the last decade. As part of these campaigns, it has already replaced over 19,000 Takata airbags in Cyprus to ensure the safety of its vehicles.

Around 85% of the pending Takata recalls are for vehicles imported by traders or individuals outside the official Toyota network - so-called ‘grey imports’. These vehicles were imported to Cyprus without Toyota’s knowledge or assistance. Toyota is currently working with the relevant stakeholders and authorities to find appropriate Takata airbag solutions for these ‘grey import’ vehicles with a matter of urgency.

We remind vehicle owners that if you have not yet proceeded with the replacement of your vehicle's airbag, you can check via the website of the Department of Road Transport to see if your vehicle is affected by the recall:
