Out of curiosity which dealership was it? You're not too far from me, and if there's a dealer who's willing to look up my VIN in the area I'd like to know.

I just got the letter yesterday, but I already got an appointment for some warranty work at the dealer for today. so they did the recall on my car at the same time.
I wasn't able to assist while they did the job on my car, but when i went back to pick up the car, i saw another mechanics doing the recall on another yaris... and this is what they actually removed. |

I took mine in for the recall and now my car smells like paint thinner... just a heads up

your car smell bad maybe because the day they were working in your car, some other mech were using paint thinner on other car.
but guys.. i was watching them doing this one, and it does take some massive digging to take it out. they do not remove the seat-belt to remove the cover... |

It was the Darcars in Frederick, MD. They sent out an email after i had them look up my VIN number, and they did it two days later, they also found a leak in my water pump, which they are replacing under the warranty.

Maybe i'll get them to look at the water pump next service.
