2001 Toyota Tundra Airbags Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the airbag system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Airbags reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN MY 2001 TOYOTA TUNDRA. DURING THE CRASH I ENDED UP GOING THROUGH A POWER POLE SEVERING IT. I STRUCK THE POLE IN THE CENTER OF THE FRONT END. THE DAMAGE WAS SUBSTANTIAL TOTALING THE VEHICLE. MY CONCERN IS NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. IS THIS A PROBLEM WITH TOYOTA TRUCKS? EVEN HIGHWAY PATROL AND THE FIRE DEPT. SAID THE AIR BAGS SHOULD HAVE GONE OFF. *JB
