SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER
Damage to the seat heater wiring could cause the wires to short, increasing the risk of the seat burning and causing personal injury to the occupant.
14V604000

If the fuel tank leaks fuel from being punctured, there is an increased risk of a fire.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE
If the FFC is damaged, connectivity to the driver's air bag module could be lost and the air bag deactivated. The failure of the driver's air bag to deploy in the event of a crash that typically necessitates deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver.

SEAT BELTS
If the seat belt pre-tensioner detaches from the seat belt assembly, the seat belt pre-tensioner will not perform as designed, increasing the risk of injury in a severe crash.

This page is about a model, not a car
Two 2009 TOYOTA TACOMAs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
