The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced the recall of more than 110,000 Toyota and Lexus vehicles due to a potential issue with driver’s side air bags.
The NHTSA said that an electrical connection in the steering column’s spiral cable assembly may not be welded enough. The connection can separate and deactivate the air bag.
The following vehicles are impacted by the recall:
- 2023 Toyota Corolla
- 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross
- 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross Hybid
- 2023 Toyota Highlander
- 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

- 2023-2024 Lexus NX 250
- 2023-2024 Lexus NX 350
- 2023-2024 Lexus NX 350 Hybrid
Owners will be notified next month and dealers will inspect the spiral cable assembly and replace it if needed for free, the NHTSA said.
