Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Risks You Can't Ignore

The most urgent reason to address recalls promptly is safety: the 2017 Toyota Avalon Hybrid has NHTSA-recorded issues—most notably multiple air bag electronic control unit (ECU) recalls—that can prevent air bags or seat belt pretensioners from deploying in certain crashes, increasing risk of injury. In addition to air bag ECU concerns, NHTSA also lists Pre-Collision System components that may falsely detect roadway objects and unexpectedly apply brakes, as well as windshield wiper switch shorts that can reduce visibility. Ignoring a documented recall can have real consequences beyond personal safety: insurers or state inspectors may view unresolved safety recalls unfavorably, and failure to repair a safety recall could complicate an incident claim. At Nalley Toyota of Roswell, our priority is your safety. Our factory-trained technicians use OEM diagnostic tools and Toyota-approved remedies to ensure each recall is completed correctly and documented with the manufacturer. Because recall repairs are free, there is no cost barrier—only the need to act. We encourage drivers in Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, and the greater Atlanta area to contact us and schedule service so we can inspect ECU software, install noise filters, replace PCS components, or replace faulty switch assemblies as required. Our staff will also review potential insurance or inspection implications and help preserve your safety and peace of mind.
