Toyota Recalls

[Flammable]

I recently received a recall notice for a passenger airbag sensor recall. Taking my 2012 Yaris in next weekend for the fix. Should take around 2 1/2 hours from what they say.

Hi All,
don't know which forum to post in this. currently when I turn my car off my gas meter takes about 5+ minutes for it go down to the normal empty when a car is off. Toyota is trying to tell me that this is normal in a 2012 Toyota yaris, yet when I bought my car in 2012 it worked fine until 2014 which is when it started happening. has anyone else had this issue?

I have a 2012 Yaris and my gas gauge doesn't go down until I lock my car with the remote key fob. I am not sure if it goes down on it's own or how long that takes.

I got an email notice from the DOT this morning regarding a new recall for 2012-2015 Yaris:

The affected vehicles may have been manufactured with a roof headliner that does not provide the proper occupant protection in the event of a crash.

Recall begins in mid-April apparently.

I just bought my Yaris 3 weeks ago and have never gone through a recall before, so this is going to be all new to me.

Should I take pictures beforehand of the inside of the car in case they scratch the interior or mark up my seats (as examples)?

The recall says "vehicles sold in Puerto Rico". Don't think it should affect you in Cali (or me in NYC)

Oh, strange. I wonder why they even sent me the email alert. I signed up to be alerted and am pretty certain I entered my VIN when doing so, and according to the vehicle history my car was originally sold new in Texas (bought it used here in Cali.).

When I first read the Puerto Rico part I figured they meant it included those sold in Puerto Rico and not strictly ones sold there. But then I just noticed the affected number and it's only 16K, which is way too small a number for 3 years worth of US models.

Thanks for pointing that out!

A Toyota dealership should be able to advise you of any recalls just by your VIN. You may want to check with them and see if there are any other recalls that your car would be under. I just recently had the passenger airbag sensor replaced via recall on my 2012 Yaris.

Just read about this in the car connection news I get every day.I'll try and provide a link below, but if it doesn't work, go to thecarconnection.com and read the news letter for May 27th 2016. http://www.thecarconnection.com/news...or-suspension/

You can enter your VIN here to check current recall status for your Toyota:

So far, nothing comes up for my 2015. I wonder if the recall is specific to the trim level (L, LE or SE)? I'm not sure if the SE "sports-tuned suspension" means different parts in that regard or not.

The recall is only for 3100 2015 Yari (so far), which is about 3 months worth of American sales of the model - assuming they are talking about U.S. recalls # only and not North America?

My UK Yaris 2015 has been recalled for the replacement strut bearings. So mine is so 'lucky' to be within those 3000 defected cars?! I should go and get the lottery.....

And yes, when I go over large humps in my office car park at speed, the front suspensions do 'jump' and not have the usual damping as my other car and my colleagues' cars. See if the replacement improvements anything.

I took mine in today for the recall. I too was a "lucky winner" I have the 2015 SE model. I haven't noticed any issues with it though - which is good I suppose as I already have almost 20K on the car.

I'm still waiting on the Yaris airbag recall.

[BennyLava]

Got my airbag recall notice, but they didn't have the parts yet at the dealership.

Thus far on my sedan they've replaced my Driver's side seat track, and something to do with the power window switch. They said it was some kind of potential fire hazard. They also changed out the cruise control unit for some reason.

Only thing I've actually noticed so far from any of it, was the seat track. It stopped clicking into place 30 minutes after I had set it where I needed it.

Its the TAKATA airbag recall , some models have the AB ecu which was made by TRW.
Supply parts is limited due to the great demand.

I'm on the same boat as BennyLava. I'm taking mine in for fix this Saturday.

I received the airbag recall, but with me moving to DFW I am not sure whether or not a dealership there will do the work. I was all set back home in Northern Maine. Guess we will see when I am back from this work contract the beginning of April.

My car says:
seat track July 2014
Spiral cable Nov. 2014
R10- Window switch? Dec. 2015 (has no power windows, maybe hatch defrost?)

Just now got letter, TAKATA airbags.

I was just at the dealer last week and asked about any recall, she said none.


I was thinking they could take the airbags and leave them out...not sure if they'd go for it though

I got my passenger air bag done now my passengers are safe again.
Well, as safe as they can be anyway.
