According to Toyota, the airbags manufactured by Takata were found with the potential for moisture intrusion, which could cause them to burst.

Toyota stated that some affected models date back over 15 years.

The faulty airbags, made by Japanese company Takata, have caused many automakers to recall vehicles in Mzansi and different countries all over the world.

"In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking and possibly injuring the occupants in the event of an accident," said a statement.
