Using warranty in Europe - Toyota Yaris Forums

MadMax · 04-30-2009, 05:47 PM

We took a brand new US-specs VW Passat to Germany in 1995, and we were told the US warranty was not valid in Europe. But we did get a recall issue covered by a German VW dealership. The same happened with a US-specs Honda motorcycle I owned, and the recall didn't effect the European version of the model. Plus, Toyotas are generally very reliable, so if it were me I wouldn't worry about it too much, especially considering that the Yaris is popular vehicle over there (I saw a ton when I was in Germany and the UK this past January).

Where are you heading to in Belgium? We lived outside of Mons from 2002-2005. And are you at Scott AFB going to HQ NATO or SHAPE? I have a few friends at TRANSCOM who were at SHAPE with us...if you are looking for some folks with firsthand experience of the Mons area, I will PM you their info.

Cheers! M2
