A total of 6260 cars are affected by the recall which covers cars previously recalled for the replacement of the driver's airbag (PRA2017/15950 - campaign GGG30).
This time it is the front passenger side airbag that is the subject of the recall.
Corolla models ZZE122 and ZZE123, both manufactured from 2003 to 2005 are being recalled.
Product Safety Australia (part of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) said the airbag could send metal fragments towards the vehicle occupants in the case of the airbag inflating.
Owners of these cars should contact their Toyota dealership to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.
Consumers who are unsure whether they are affected can also use Toyota's VIN look-up tool at www.toyota.com.au/recalls or contact Toyota on 1800 987 366 or contact their preferred dealer.
