The hatch on my 2014 (French built) doesn't always close securely. Occasionally, the light on the dash indicates a door is ajar... and it's always the hatch that needs to be closed more firmly.

I thought the Yaris wasn't French built until 2015. Am I mistaken?

Actually, my 2015 Yaris seems to be built in Belgium. I've just looked into my documents and there's written "TOYOTA MOTOR EUROPE, BEL".

That's where Toyota Europe's head office is situated. Toyota Manufacturing is in France.

There are some 2014 4-door LE's and a lot of 2-door L's that are French built. The French built 2014's are easily recognizable because the seat fabric is black rather than light grey.
