Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture Open

From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L.

The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deploymen…

Common problems & what to inspect

Based on all 218 owner complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2008 Toyota Yaris, here are the most-reported problem areas — and what to check before you buy.

💥 51 involved a crash 🔥 1 involved a fire 🚑 57 reported injuries

Air Bags 107 reports

🔍 Confirm the airbag light turns on then off at startup — if it stays lit there's a fault (costly, and a safety risk). Check for signs of prior deployment.

Service Brakes 34 reports

🔍 Brakes should feel firm and quiet — no grinding, pulsing or pulling. Check for an ABS light and uneven pad/rotor wear.

Vehicle Speed Control 20 reports

🔍 Test cruise control and throttle response, and watch for any hesitation or unintended acceleration.

Electrical System 18 reports

🔍 Test every electrical feature: windows, locks, infotainment, charging and all lights. Watch for flickering, dead accessories or warning lights.

Suspension 16 reports

🔍 Listen for clunks over bumps, check the car sits level, and look for uneven tire wear and worn shocks or struts.

Hydraulic 12 reports

🔍 Have a trusted mechanic inspect this system as part of a pre-purchase inspection.
