  1. Have you tested for exhaust leak (air being drawn in before or immediately after the cats?

    Smallest amount of unregulated air can cause this symptom
    Measure the oxygen content at the exhaust = should be zero (0) in O2 content
    Also briefly block the exhaust with a rag and listen for any hissing from the exhaust components

  2. It seems a common fault around the world as long as there is scrap value in the precious metals within the cats.
    There are stocks of cats in some aftermarket companies and I believe some use different materials to achieve the same catalytic conversion which will help in the long term as no value to theives

  3. I would definitely take the car to the Toyota dealership to diagnose as you are dealing with Hydrogen gas which although not necessarily unstable within the fuel cell would still need to be checked to be on the safe side

  4. There were issues with Toyota sourced airbags (from China) which resulted in a massive recall (in Europe) of many vehicles from different manufacturers all using the same sourced airbags.
    This may have led to difficulty finding the new supply of airbags that hadn't been earmarked for recall

    Used Airbags (e.g. not deployed or been damaged in accident - so stolen/recovered, etc) are acceptable for re-use in Europe (certainly in the UK) and there are dealers who legally trade in them
