Last week, Toyota updated its long list of vehicles affected by the ongoing recall of Takata airbags. Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that the Toyota Corolla Matrix (aka the Toyota Matrix) was on that list and wondered, "What about the Pontiac Vibe? Wasn't it essentially the same car?"
Indeed, it was, and that's why, as Detroit News reports, General Motors is recalling more than 243,000 Pontiac Vibes from model years 2003-2007 to replace their passenger-side airbags.
The Vibe has been involved in several other Takata-related recalls. However, some of those recalls were missing quite a few vehicle identification numbers (or VINs); others were limited to specific geographic areas and/or to replacement of driver-side airbags. This update includes Vibe models nationwide that were manufactured between January 18, 2003 and June 6, 2007 for the 2003-2007 model years.
