Toyota has issued a recall for around 1,400 units of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder and Glanza for a fault in the airbag controller. This comes after Maruti Suzuki issued a similar recall for the Baleno, Grand Vitara and others. Like the two Maruti Suzuki’s they’re based on, the affected Glanza and Hyryder units were produced between December 8, 2022 and January 12, 2023.
Like the affected units of Maruti Suzuki, the Glanza and Hyryder units are susceptible to the airbag control units failing and resulting in the non-deployment of airbags and seat belt pretensioners in the event of a crash. The brand also cautioned users to reduce the usage of their vehicles unless those affected are contacted by the workshop. Toyota also mentioned the part will be replaced free of cost.
Recent Toyota recalls
This is not the first time Toyota has issued a recall for the Urban Cruiser Hyryder. In December, the Japanese carmaker recalled around 1,000 units of its new SUV for an issue pertaining to the seat belt shoulder height adjuster which could lead to disassembly. A similar issue affected the Grand Vitara too as both are manufactured on the same assembly line. However, XL6, Ertiga and Ciaz were also affected by this issue.
