Toyota Motor North America will join founding partner Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in supporting the National Safety Council's Check to Protect campaign, an initiative designed to reduce the number of open recall vehicles on the nation's roadways.
NHTSA releases details about 24 separate recalls involving 17 different vehicle manufacturers.
This latest action covers more than 86,000 older-model SUVs and trucks in the U.S.
More than 40,000 Sprinter 2500 and 3500 vans need new passenger-side frontal air bags because the existing ones have defective inflators.
The action affects 2,564 2008-2009-MY trucks that need new driver’s-side frontal air bags, as part of the expanded Takata air bag inflator recall.
More than 27,000 trucks need replacement passenger-side frontal air bags.
Dealers will replace defective front-passenger air bag inflators manufactured by Takata.
The latest actions bring Fiat Chrysler's global Takata-related recall total to an estimated 5.2 million vehicles.
Defective air bag inflators pose a safety hazard in more than 7 million vehicles in the 2000-2008 model years, the federal agency warns.
