I'M FROM VANCOUVER, BC, CANADA. I WAS DRIVING BACK, FROM VANCOUVER AIRPORT OUTLET STORES, ON HIGHWAY 99, WITH AROUND 90 KM/H AND WHEN I APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION WITH OVER-PASSING CAMBIE ROAD, I HEARD LIKE AN GLASS EXPLOSION ON THE CAR ROOF, AND BY REFLEX I DUCK AND COVER BUT I DID NOT STOP THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INCOMING TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO SLOW DOWN AND MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY THEN STOP THE CAR COMPLETELY. WHEN GOT OUT AN LOOK I SAW MY MOBILE SUNROOF BROKEN IN LARGE PIECES, LIKE SOMEONE CUT IT I SQUARE LIKE FORMS. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT MY SUNROOF OVERHEAD PROTECTION WAS CLOSED, AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT, OTHERWISE ALL THOSE BROKEN SUNROOF PIECES HAD FALLEN IN MY HEAD ... AND AT 90 KM/H ... MY REACTION WOULD HAD BEEN DIFFERENT, PROBABLY LEADING TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. SINCE IT WAS LONG WEEKEND, THE COMPANY WHICH SOLD ME THE CAR, AND REPRESENT TOYOTA (DESTINATION TOYOTA BURNABY) WAS CLOSED, SO I CALLED THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND FILE A CLAIM ([XXX]). I FINALLY MANAGED TO GET IT INTO THE REPAIR SHOP (SAME COMPANY WHICH SOLD ME THE CAR) AND AFTER THEY CHANGE THE SUNROOF, THEY TOLD ME THE ELECTRICAL PART WHICH CLOSES THE MECHANISM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY, AND THEY NEED TO CHANGE THAT TOO. IT'S ALMOST 1 MONTH AND A HALF AND THEY STILL WORKING ON THE CAR, A 2 YEARS OLD CAR!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

21V257000 · Air Bags:side/window:curtain

Apr 13, 2021

Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain 2009-2015 Venza vehicles. The Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) wiring may become damaged with regular use of the driver-side door.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: Damaged wires may cause the air bag sensor to become inoperable, preventing the deployment of the side and curtain air bags on the driver side and increasing the risk of injury during a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver-side front door wire harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 19, 2021. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331. Toyota's number for this recall is 21TB01/21TA01.
