Toyota is warning the owners of approximately 50,000 U.S. vehicles to stop driving and get immediate recall repairs due to the risk of a faulty air bag inflator that has the potential to explode and seriously injure or kill the driver or passengers.

In a "Do Not Drive" advisory issued by Toyota on Thursday, the Japanese automaker said the recall covers certain models of the 2003-2004 Corolla, 2003-2004 Corolla Matrix and the 2004-2005 RAV4 that are part of the ongoing Takata air bag recall.
