The action covers the CrewMax and Double Cab models. The automaker said the side curtain air bags, which are installed along the headliner above the side windows, might not deploy properly because a panel on the roof pillar was not installed properly. The air bags are designed to provide head protection in a side impact crash. The problem was detected during crash tests by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in February, John Hanson, a spokesman for Toyota, wrote in an email. The automaker said it wasn’t aware of any crashes, injuries or fatalities related to the issue.
