Known issues for this generation

NHTSA campaign 23V-384 covers certain 2022-2023 Corolla Cross vehicles whose instrument panel may lack the required perforation, which could keep the front-passenger air bag from deploying as intended under FMVSS 208. Toyota dealers inspect and replace the instrument panel when needed. Campaign 23V-864 re-inspected vehicles that had already been checked under 23V-384 because the panel could still fail the perforation requirement.
