"Potential Recall Notification"

[1stToyota]

Anybody know about a recall on the Yaris? I just got an e-mail on this from the dealership that sold me my Yaris, along with sales pitches on their alignments and repair specials. Letter went like so:

"Potential Recall Notification

Our records show that many local Toyota models have recalls on them that have not yet been performed.

We would be happy to check your vehicle for recall or campaign eligibility and we will perform your Toyota's recall, at no cost to you."

yep.... the foam behind the seat belt...... I'm taking mine in monday.. I got my letter 2 weeks ago.

Thanks. I never got a letter, but that's only to be expected. Some days it gets here by 9:00am, other days it's lucky to be here by 6:00pm, or delivered to the neighbors instead.

I'd just call your local dealer they'll tell you by your vin number if it needs to be done I think.

Thanks for the heads up. :)

Dealer scam. You've got an 08. The recall referenced by others is of 06/07.

it will not fail. it catches fire in the event of an impact.

A seatbelt catching on fire is failing in my book. :laugh:

ah, so as long as she can guarantee that she'll never get in an accident, she's fine with it?

dude, your logic is flawed here.

I read the link that was provided on this topic, and it states: "On 2006 through 2007 model year Yaris"

Mine is a '08, so I take it that phone call is not needed.

ok, your funeral....



and LOL @ toyota for such an awful problem.

I have an 07 and an 08. I got the recall notice in the mail about a month ago, only for my 07, because it only applies to the 06s and 07s. They realized the problem before putting 08s into production, therefore they changed the design before shipping them out.

Wrong.

Under my avatar it clearly says: "Drives: 2008 3dr Yaris"

A real smart member made a thread about this exact topic a while ago. It even has the build dates of all yaris affected by the recall. click here to see the thread (http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13819)
