Dubai: The 'Don’t Risk It, Fix It' Campaign has been launched by Al Futtaim for Toyota and Lexus car owners in the UAE who are driving vehicles with faulty Takata airbags. Airbags are crucial safety features, but in the affected models, the airbag inflators degrade over time due to heat and humidity, posing a significant risk in accidents.

Al Futtaim, the managing director of Al-Futtaim Toyota and Lexus, Jacques Brent, emphasized that checking the vehicle's VIN is a simple process that takes only minutes and provides peace of mind. The free airbag inflator replacement is offered to owners of various Toyota and Lexus models across the UAE. The process is quick, taking less than an hour, regardless of the vehicle's age or ownership history.

Brent urged all affected owners to visit the Al Futtaim website, check their vehicle's VIN, and have their airbag replaced at no cost and no hassle. UAE drivers are strongly advised to get their cars checked immediately due to the airbag risk.
