safety recall

[dredizzle]

Did anyone get a letter from SCION about the safety recall on the 05 and 06 TC's??? There is something wrong with the airbags and the moon roof.....:ponder:

[Vicious]

I got a call from Scion a few months back about the moonroof deflector recall but nothing about the airbags... That's kinda worrying me now

[sarahashley23]

I got something a few months ago about my airbag sensors. They changed mine out. I never received anything about my moonroof though.

??? This is all I could find. May not be the same ones.

The recall was for the 06 tC with side curtain airbags if you slamed the door to hard they would go off.
and the sunroof is for the pieces that flips up when its open that when rocks hit it it would shatter so they put on a 3M clear piece to stop that. You cant even see it on ther if they do it right..

I believe the wind-deflector impacts tc's sold in 05 and up until Jan of 06.

i havent recieved anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These are OLD recalls.

These are for 2005 and 2006 tC's only.

Several 2005 (and early 2006) tC's did not have the protective layer underneath the sunroof wind deflector. When hit with a rock or other debris, the deflector would shatter.

The other recall is for tC's from '05-06 with Side Curtain Airbags only. The Side impact sensors would still be powered on for about 30 seconds when the car was off.... if the door was slammed hard enough in that timeframe, it would trigger the airbags.

Neither recalls affect '07+ tCs.

ummmmmmmm hello...i am 06TCinCALI meaning i drive an 06 TC.... hahaha

[Krdshrk]

Yeah but do you have side airbags? :p

[06TCinCALI]

Yeah but do you have side airbags? :p
uhhhh no i dont think i got those...i got my car used hahahahahah

[Krdshrk]

Then you're fine.

You may want to check the wind deflector though. If you don't see a black sticker on the bottom side of it - you may want to call scion.

[06TCinCALI]

ill check it.......:)

[dredizzle]

thats kinda scary....just thought i would ask....i have an 05' and i figured that most of you had newer cars but i knew that some of us were still rocking the 05 anf 06's...:toast:

[Krdshrk]

What's scary about it? I have an '06 with side curtains...

[DooFster]

Is the plastic piece behind my deflector to prevent that? I drive an '07...

[Krdshrk]

It's a laminate... a sticker really.

[DooFster]

Maybe you misunderstood me - lol - when you look at the back of an '07 deflector, there's a plastic piece between the brackets holding it on. Is that something to prevent it from breaking like the plastic laminate thing?

[Krdshrk]

Nope - that's part of the frame itself, i believe. Look at the glass. if you see a sticker on it near the edge that extends the whole length of the deflector, that's the laminate.

[DooFster]

OOOOOKKK! Gotcha... I know what you're talking about! lol... I can't really "see" my car...

[06BCPtC]

i was called about the airbag recall and got it fixed that same day. i also heard about the moonroof recall but when i brought mine in they said it was fine. i drive an 06 btw. but i heard that all tC's after 06 have all the kinks worked out

[07Azuresciontc]

i also had the wind deflector recall on my 05 and after having it fixed i received a jada toys scion tc model all pimped out

same here they did this about a year ago i think. i went in for the service and they said we have to do the wind delfector recall. apperantly from what i was told be peps onmyspace their wind deflector was shattering on people out of know where.

[07Azuresciontc]

they told me that if it was up and a pebble hit it going 40 mph it would break, so for a week till i got it fixed i kept the sunroof closed, i dont need to sliece and diced.

I found out how they fixed the side curtain airbag issue.... the sensor was originally installed using two bolts...allowing the sensor to wobble, All the fix was is to add a 3rd bolt to prevent the wobble lol.
