The concern is if the dealership removes the sound insulation, the interior noise will get even louder than it already is! For the remote chance of it catching fire in an accident (it has only occured once as far as I know), some people would rather chance it than have to live with an even noisier Yaris!

Not all recalls are for safety's sake, many are to cover the manufacturer's ass in case of lawsuits. If Toyota was truly caring about its customers, it would replace the insulation with some that is fire-resistant. But no, the solution is just to remove it to save them from future litigation; and to hell with the customer!

Actually, you are correct; I am just going by what is posted on here, and don't know for sure if Toyota is simply removing the insulation without replacing it. As this is my first Toyota, I am hoping that is not the case as it would leave many with a bad impression; but knowing that our beloved Yaris is basically their entry-level car (at least here in the States) and that the company skimped in many areas (such as split-folding rear seats being standard on the liftbacks prior to 09, or at least one locking glovebox) I have a suspicion that they may simply just remove it. I hope I am incorrect...

Cheers! M2
