Toyota recalled 650,000 more vehicles Wednesday, in relation to a previous 2013 faulty airbag announcement.
According to CNN, the auto part's manufacturer Takata Corp. did not give the car company a thorough list of the vehicles' serial numbers. The amount adds to the car maker's previous recall of 1,830,000 cars.
"Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in the event of a crash," the company said in a statement CNN obtained.
Toyota recalled its Corolla, Matrix, and Tundra models in the 2013 international announcement. The company joined BMW, Honda, Nissan and Mazda in efforts to help consumers have the vehicles repaired. This totaled 3.6 million autos. 1.1 million Honda vehicles needed new passenger front airbag inflators. Nissan recalled 480,000. Mazda pulled back 45,000.
"It is possible that the passenger front airbag inflators in affected vehicles may deploy with too much pressure, which may cause the inflator casing to rupture and could result in injury," Honda stated.
Honda knew of one crash related to its announcement. Heavy pressure caused the vehicles passenger front airbag to explode when the part came out of the car door. No injuries or deaths were reported. The car maker last experienced the issue in 2008.
Toyota was aware of five airbag failures. No injuries were reported in the company's cases.
A Toyota spokesman told Reuters, all parts related to the recall will need replacing.
"We have judged that it is more certain to replace everything," Naoki Sumino said.
Honda, Nissan and Mazda are also conducting further investigations to decide if the problematic Takata parts need changing. BMW did not know of any issues with their cars, according to Reuters. Takata began their own probe in January to see whether any other car companies had dangerous inflators.
