The recall programme covers 18,138 locally assembled Vios cars produced from Jan.  5, 2009 to Dec. 29, 2012, and 1,877 imported Yaris cars produced from Sept.  1, 2009 to Aug. 31, 2012, according to Vietnam News. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger air bag to deploy abnormally in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the occupant.

The recall program at the Toyota dealership network is covered by the global Recall Programme of Toyota Motor Corporation, according to The Nation.
