I checked for recalls and my model year has one for this problem but when I enter the VIN the result says that there isn't a recall for it. https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa#complaint-2029849 Fri, 04 Oct 2024 00:00:00 GMT Symptom: When brakes are applied, car will violently jerk to the left into the path of oncoming traffic. Countersteering to prevent collision results in left front tire skidding with poor braking. Cause: Initially, the suspected cause was a failed right front brake caliper. However, upon investigation, it was found that the ABS braking module was blocking all brake fluid from going to the rig https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa#complaint-1896175 Fri, 19 May 2023 00:00:00 GMT The contact owns a 2006 Scion XA. The contact stated that while seated in the vehicle while the vehicle was parked, the front passenger’s side air bag deployed without impact and caused the windshield to shatter. No warning light was illuminated. The contact had not sustained an injury. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer to replace the air bag; however, the contact was made aware that the VIN https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa#complaint-1804707 Wed, 30 Mar 2022 00:00:00 GMT The air bag light has been trigger on and won't go off. Nov 1, 2018 If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners unintentionally deploy, it can increase the risk of a crash. If the air bags and/or seat belt pretensioners are deactivated, it can increase the risk of injury in the event of a crash. https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa https://plaincars.com/make/scion-xa#complaint-1773696 Fri, 15 Oct 2021 00:00:00 GMT 2006 scion XA The dash light indicator for pass airbag stays on, showing problem with that system.

CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT; LIGHT JUST CAME ON ONE DAY UPON STARTING IT UP.

THE DEALER MADE THE LIGHT GO OUT, FIXED IT LAST YEAR 2018. NOW THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $199 TO JUST CHECK IT, NO REPAIR INCLUDED.

WHY IS THE SCION XA BEING EXCUSED FROM THE AIRBAG RECALL, WHEN IT MOST LIKELY HAS THE EXACT SAME AIRBAGS AS THE SCION XB MODEL?
