No need for concern

There is a very large, industry-wide recall in the news today. Seven manufacturers are being affected by this recall, including Toyota.The recall was issued over an issue which may cause small fragments of metal to fly out when airbags deploy, causing possible injury or death.

Scary stuff, if you only catch the headlines...

The recall posed Monday by U.S. safety regulators covers the 2003 to 2005 Corolla and Matrix, the 2002 to 2005 Sequoia and the 2003 to 2005 Tundra. Also included is the 2003 to 2005 Pontiac Vibe made by Toyota.

While several Toyota vehicles are listed in the recall, the affected vehicles are ONLY in high-humidity areas.

The recall covers vehicles in South Florida, along the Gulf Coast, in Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan and American Samoa.

Odds are, you've got nothing to worry about, unless you recently moved from one of the affected areas. If you would like some peace of mind, feel free to contact our service department with your VIN#. They will be able to determine whether or not your vehicle is affected in almost no time.
