  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. I would remove the thermostat to see if there is an even flow of coolant.

    If so, then chances are it is a faulty (albeit new) thermostat

    Air can be very difficult to remove from a cooling system occasionally but always check the obvious things first.
    A coolant pressure cap is a prime example of when it fails for the pressure to drop and lead to overheating and also a source to introduce air into the system......very cheap part to replace

  4. Hi....welcome to the Club

    It could be air in the cooling system and you would need to measure the temperature of all the cooling system components with an infra-red temperature gun (very cheap to buy and use) this will then indicate where there is a cool or hot spot and this could be the air or blockage

    Have you looked in the trunk area bolted to one of the side panels?
