I am in no way affiliated with Nintendo! Believe it or not, Toyota Canada still has not even issued a recall.

Maybe the Canadian climate is considered low risk for these airbags.

I checked for recalls on my US 2007 sedan at http://www.toyota.com/recall and found 2007-2011 Yaris sedans are recalled.
The PDF document explained how affected cars are being recalled in 4 phases. My car is recalled in phase 2, although my local Toyota dealership did not have parts available yet when I called today. Title Safety Recall H0A - Remedy Notice Multiple Models and Model Years Takata Front Passenger Airbag Inflator (Zone C) Description The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. According to Takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, striking the vehicle occupants, and result in serious injury or death. Remedy The remedy will consist of the replacement of the airbag inflator or the airbag assembly, depending on the vehicle model. For answers to frequently asked questions, please click here. |

Toyota Canada has FINALLY issued the recall notice. We are now getting the notification letters stating the recall reason, and they are currently in the process of 'preparing sufficient quantities of the remedy parts'. At such time we will then receive a subsequent notification to proceed with taking action with your dealership to book an appointment.

I just checked for my 07 Hatchback and it looks like I have an interim notification basically stating they're get the parts ready for the recall.
SRC R31 (X31) - Interim Notice - Certain 2006 – 2008MY Yaris Hatchback and 2007MY Yaris Sedan - Front Passenger Airbag Inflator Customer Interim Notification Toyota is currently in the process of preparing the remedy parts. Please read the information below and in the attachment. The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators produced by Takata. According to Takata, the propellant in these inflators may degrade after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity and fluctuating high temperatures. Degraded propellant can cause inflator rupture during airbag deployment.

I received a letter from Toyota U.K., some weeks, ago advising that my 2014 Yaris is subject to the air bag recall. I had previously checked on Toyota's website which stated, after submitting the relevant details, that it was not part of this recall.
They wrote in the letter that there is a worldwide shortage of the necessary part(s) and that I will be contacted at a later date when sufficient parts are available! |

It seems they have now. I dropped by my local dealership, Markville Toyota, and asked about the airbag recall. They checked the VIN and said, "actually there are about four safety-related recalls on your car, sir. When would you like the work done?". Clearly no problem there. They will also drop me home by shuttle and pick me up again, after the work's done.

Clearly since I have a subsequent post on Feb 27th stating that I had received notification from Toyota Canada about the issuance of the recall in this country.

Sorry, I think I lost track of things somewhere in this thread. :-(
Going by several of the other posts, I was getting the impression that dealers were trying to avoid doing the airbag recall. Instead, I very pleasantly surprised to find them pretty much welcoming me with open arms! Sent from my phone. Please excuse any typpos. |

Had mine done this past week, I left it Tuesday night but didn't get it back until Thursday morning. At first the dealership said they were having problems with the computer needed to do the airbag replacement and asked if they could keep it an extra day, then they called back an hour before they closed and said it was ready. I didn't have time to pick it up, so my wife and son when and got it for me.
The bastards didn't even wash it for my troubles, but they did find a Filipino ₱10 coin, worth about 20¢ and left it in the tray. I was in the Philippines in March 2016. Cheers! M2
