Toyota will replace 1.6 million Takata airbag inflators in Japan previously deemed safe

Toyota is repeating the recall after an inflator ruptured and injured a passenger in the Nissan X-Trail even after an inspection found no air leak.

Toyota is recalling about 12 million vehicles worldwide due to Takata airbags, the carmaker told NHTSA in July. Of the 98 injuries involving Takata airbag inflator ruptures in the U.S. through late last month, five were in Toyota vehicles, according to the agency.
