No, he was mad because he wasn't told whether or not his was affected. A courtesy notice saying something along the lines of "Yaris recall in effect for some owners. Lucky for you you're not one of them" would solve the problem of having to call the dealer to see if yours is affected

No I did not want a recall on my Yaris, the last thing I want to have to do is go to the dealer on my own time to have them fix something that they (Toyota) messed up in the first place.

Krayzee.jojo was right, i just wanted toyota to let me know if we (my wife and I both own a Yaris each) had a recall or not.

I just got an email about the notice from my dealership, but I had already gave them my VIN and my yaris is one of the ones recalled, so I'm going tomorrow for the free fix. Has anyone done this yet?

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.

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.

I got the recall notice in the mail yesterday. I'll be taking her in next week...sounds like an easy fix.

Easy, quick and free (excluding your time and gas to get there).
