**SAFETY RECALL!! 06-07 YARIS HB & SEDANS** - Toyota Yaris Forums

slvryaris · 01-28-2009, 05:08 AM

My lack of sleep and being on the internet too much at all times of the night due to the snow and ice covering Indiana led me to find this.

I am seeing that it is a seat belt recall, but it looks like its only in the foreign markets.

:( .... i guess my '09 is good though

ZING · 01-28-2009, 05:36 AM

The '09's are good? Imagine having to send my Yaris all the way from here. Would probably never see it again.

mikenacarato · 01-28-2009, 05:44 AM

it says in there built from Jan. 05 - Apr. 08. Sounds like the Pre-09 models to me. 09 models are not usually made until late 08

^ Thanks.

Apologies; I didn't notice there was a thread in Off-topic section. Given it is Yaris-related I only checked in this forum.

exactly - North American pre-09 units ARE affected and it can be seatbelt, and/or Exhaust too

Yawesh · 01-28-2009, 06:53 AM

u know that hanger by the rear that hangs the exhaust. i'm betting it's that part.

as for seatbelt...........hmmmmm

REM · 01-28-2009, 07:40 AM

REM · 01-28-2009, 07:41 AM

Me too!

Bob_VT · 01-28-2009, 10:48 AM

IF your car is re-called .......

You will receive a letter in the mail.........

or

Ask the dealer to check by running your VIN

Many times when there is a recall .....the dealer does not have the parts yet!

MadMax · 01-28-2009, 11:27 AM

Please keep posting updates to this thread. I suspect Sprocket will be affected and this is usually a better source of information than my local Toyota dealership!

Cheers! M2
