Out of curiosity which dealership was it? You're not too far from me, and if there's a dealer who's willing to look up my VIN in the area I'd like to know.

I got the recall notice in the mail yesterday. I'll be taking her in next week...sounds like an easy fix.

I had mine done on Thursday. It didn't take them long at all. Mine only had to have one of the recall items done. They removed the foam from the B pillars. No pain and no fuss. No problems and no smells for mine.

GeneralDon7 · 03-05-2009, 05:09 PM

Mine took about 45 minutes for them to do, didnt see any other yarises there getting it done. But if this did increase the road noise I havent heard any difference. Also no smell. Maybe just lucky

, I had to go in again a week later to get the water pump replaced due to leaking. Which my coolant was at min when i took it in. That took 2 hours, and they put my underbody panels on wrong.

Yaris · 03-12-2009, 01:58 AM

Mine took 10 minutes. Heck, I was halfway drinking my coffee when they paged me.

IllusionX · 02-18-2009, 03:31 PM

your car smell bad maybe because the day they were working in your car, some other mech were using paint thinner on other car.

but guys.. i was watching them doing this one, and it does take some massive digging to take it out. they do not remove the seat-belt to remove the cover...

My faith in toyota is tarnished now, who ever put that foam there should be shot!!!

Such a nice response - All cars have foam - What do you sit on - A milk carton....

Shot? Holy smokes...

I've driven a lot of automobiles in my years - Dollar for Dollar - It's good deal - I have 2 Toyota's and will probably never by anything else... Except for a Pickup! Because Toyota don't have diesel pickups in Canada! and at my age - I need to think about pulling a fifth wheel - My Toy Hauler!

Shroomster · 02-19-2009, 02:38 AM

it's a chemical reaction of the foam not the foams fault or toyota's just poor fabrication technique.....of whoever sold the foam to toyota.....

TheRealEnth · 02-19-2009, 02:41 AM

How long does it take? I dont wanna sit around the dealership for an hour =( (thats how mcuh it said on the paper... does it really take an hour?)

Shroomster · 02-19-2009, 12:03 PM

that is the flat rate time.

that is what the tech will get paid.

may take them 10-15 minutes... if they do a lot of them...
