Yaris Seltbelt recall
Has anyone heard about the Seltbelt recall?...
TORONTO - Toyota Canada issued a recall Wednesday for 58,400 of its Yaris subcompact cars due to a potential seatbelt defect. The recall is part of an international effort involving 1.3 million of the small cars from the 2006 and 2007 model years, which were manufactured in Japan. Toyota Canada Yaris recall is part of an international effort involving 1.3 million of the small cars from the 2006 and 2007 model years, which were manufactured in Japan. In cases of a severe front-end collision, some of the car's sound-insulating foam was found to ignite due to a chemical released by seatbelt pretensioners, the device that tightens the belt in case of collision. The pretensioners are only operated in extreme crashes, said Brian Lyons, a Toyota spokesman, and there have been no cases of the foam catching fire among the public in either the U.S. or Canada. Dawn Soulis, a spokeswoman for Toyota Canada, said the auto giant will send letters to Yaris owners in early March, informing them of the defect. She added that any Yaris owner can take their car to their dealership to have the problem
