'takata recall' the steering wheel appears to have a bulge at the airbag seams. Both my personal mechanic and the workers at the toyota dealership have stated this is a defect involving the airbag where the cover has detached from the sensors or a coil. The separation is internal. The vehicle has not been involved in any accidents and was parked(stationary) when the bulge occurred.

Many toyotas were recalled because of the airbags but i don't understand why my truck was not. Last year my horn started to act up and someone at the toyota repair center commented that it may be due to the airbags. Just to look at it there is a charge of over $100.00 to repair it would cost me over $200.00 now my horn works when when i push the panic button but not in the steering column. I thought i read that…

Takata recall should be extended to 2011 toyota tacoma. The horn stopped working so i took the car into a toyota certified mechanic.

The spiral cable failed. The spiral cable connects the horn button and driver's airbag to the rest of the car. When it fails, the airbag and horn won't work. Toyota already recalled the spiral cable on '05-'09 tacoma's. The spiral cables are still failing, so they need to recall later years and fix them too. *tr
