Toyota Canada has FINALLY issued the recall notice. We are now getting the notification letters stating the recall reason, and they are currently in the process of 'preparing sufficient quantities of the remedy parts'. At such time we will then receive a subsequent notification to proceed with taking action with your dealership to book an appointment.

I just checked for my 07 Hatchback and it looks like I have an interim notification basically stating they're get the parts ready for the recall.



SRC R31 (X31) - Interim Notice - Certain 2006 – 2008MY Yaris Hatchback and 2007MY Yaris Sedan - Front Passenger Airbag Inflator
Customer Interim Notification

Toyota is currently in the process of preparing the remedy parts. Please read the information below and in the attachment.

The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. According to Takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death.
