Anyone know of a web site or a compiled listing that has any of the Silent or service recalls for the Yaris ??
Traditionally manufactures don't want this info 'leaked' but as often the case, these things are in fact made public... eventually. Would be nice if anyone in the industry can keep us updated.
So.... who in the know, whats to start a list ?:iono:
[Edit] Only found these 3 items. Seems pretty old, and may/may not actually effect local models...
Recall: No. 1 of 3
Recall Ref: R2001/112
Exact Model: Yaris
Description: SECURITY OF REAR HUBS TO AXLE BEAM
VIN: VARIOUS
Build Date:
Numbers: 697
Defect: The bolts securing the left and right rear hubs to the axle
beam may not have been tightened to the correct torque.
In the worse case, the hubs could become loose.
Action: Recall affected vehicles, check and tighten the hub fasteners
to the specified torque where necessary
Launch Date: 08 August 2001
Recall:No. 2 of 3
Recall Ref: R/2006/130
Exact Model: Yaris, Prius and Yaris Verso
Description: Engine may stall
VIN: PRIUS JT153FU1#00024214 to JT153FU1#00046747
Build Date:
Numbers: 7893
Defect: Due to improper moulding of the body of the crankshaft position
sensor, engine oil may penetrate the seal and enter the sensor
wiring connector. In this condition, the engine oil within the
sensor’s wiring connector may expand due to engine heat and
could deform the sensor. In the worst case, the connector may
become disconnected, which could cause the engine to stall
while driving and restarting would not be possible.
Action: Recalled vehicles will have the crankshaft position sensor
replaced.
Launch Date: 27 November 2006
Recall: No. 3 of 3
Recall Ref: R2000/029
Exact Model:
Description: REAR WHEELS MAY LOCK UNDER HARD BRAKING
VIN: VARIOUS
Build Date: January 1999 to January 2000
Numbers: 19639
Defect: There is a possibility that, under certain conditions, when
applying the brakes hard and suddenly, as in a panic situation,
a locking of the rear wheels may occur. The vehicle handling will
then become unstable.
Action: Recall affected vehicles and replace brake proportioning valve
with a modified type.
Launch Date: 14 March 2000
