How to check for the Takata airbag

[Riseanddarken]

So I bought my Land Cruiser before realizing that Toyota had a long list of years and models that were affected by the Takata airbag issue. My problem at the moment is that the previous owner has no idea if the LC was taken to the dealer for this and I'd like to know, just to be on the safe side. How would I check this?

the easiest and most reliable way to check is to use your vin, either via the official Toyota recall site and the nhtsa. that should tell you if there are any open recalls on your specific truck, including the takata airbag issue, and whether the work has been completed. it's a quick process and will give you a definitive answer!

The easiest is to enter your VIN on Toyota's official recall site, it'll tell you if there's an open Takata airbag recall. You can also call a local dealer with the VIN, they can pull the service history and confirm whether the airbag was replaced.
