Takata Air Bag Recall
Being extended to include the Vitz. Looks like possibly Gen1 and early Gen2s.
'Toyota, Japan's biggest automaker, said it would recall just under 5 million Corolla, Vitz and other models, mostly in Japan and Europe. Many of the models were built between March 2003 and November 2007, and include 1.36 million to be recalled in Japan.'

Then this would affect some 2007 US models too, right?

Who knows. There is no telling when or why a manufacturer sources different parts for builds destined for various markets.

Darn, and I just dealt with local dealer on the Spiral cable and seat adjustor recall. Oh well mine is a 2009, maybe I'll get lucky.

No US market Yaris have Takata airbags.

Honda today adding close to 5 million more vehicles to the recall. What a fiasco for Takata. Around 36 million in total recalls and counting.

And some more added today;
'As part of that effort, Toyota is recalling 300,000 vehicles sold in high-humidity U.S. states and territories, including the 2005-2007 Corolla, Corolla Matrix and Sequoia, 2005-2006 Tundra and 2005-2007 Lexus SC, as well as the 2005-2007 Pontiac Vibe made for General Motors Co <GM.N>. Toyota is also recalling 177,000 2003-2004 Tundra and 2004 Sequoia, as well as 160,000 2004-2005 RAV4.'

Can you believe my better half took her 2011 Honda Accord in for service and they told her about the airbag recall and ordered a replacement for her?
She got the call yesterday saying it's in and she can bring the car by to have them swap it out - while I'm over here staring at an interim notice letter from Toyota. Edit/Update: Just dropped the Honda off for the airbag swap and they confirmed that they are installing an Autoliv airbag. A Google search of that brand brings up a few links about Autoliv coming out on top in light of Takata's fail. Now I'm wondering if Toyota will also install Autoliv's in our cars, or wait for Takata to produce something new. Last edited by ern-diz; 08-18-2016 at 11:49 AM. |

2007 Yaris Toyota Takata recall passenger airbag Vehicle Identification Number VIN
Call 800-331-4331 and tell the nice lady (actual human) your Yaris' VIN.
I was told not to let anyone sit in the Hatchback's front passenger seat, and recall was pending wait for instructions. Also that my center pillar insulation removal was done but not the seat tracks and spiral cable...or power windows master switch, if I had one.

I'm happy Honda ditched Takata for Autoliv and were able to remedy the situation for my better half's Accord, but I'd like to have my Yaris taken care of sooner than later, too. |

I am still surprised to hear that so many Yaris have Takata airbags. All of the ones I have taken apart (07, 08 and 09) have had Daicel Safety Systems airbags, made in Tyogo, Japan.

How interesting. From my reading, Daicel is one of the smaller manufacturers. Wish I would have gotten one!

To send to me to replace my Takata with, of course

So, my brother-in-law has a cousin with a early 2000's BMW 3 series. He was recently involved in a collision and below is the pic he sent my bro-in-law some time after the incident.
Yes, yes that is some piece of the Takata airbag assembly stuck in his door panel. He also told my bro-in-law that several pieces of plastic struck him in the neck. Needless to say, everyone is thankful it didn't turn out worse. For those brushing off the Takata airbag recalls on our cars as a slim chance, I remind you that no one thinks it's going to happen to them --until it does. |
