SEARCH

Please look around and use the search function...... the moderators who "try" to keep things organized have their hands full (when they are sober

) and will have to lock up or move around posts to keep things tidy.

Don't freak out..... you will probably not die from a seatbelt fault but you might if you do not wear one!

Like you said '06 & '07 models that doesn't sound like all to me (grin) but if you feel paranoid visit (or phone) a Toyota dealer or two with your VIN - let us know what U find out !

Welcome to the forum, but please following the expected courtesies of any forum...which are SEARCH FIRST! You can find a lot of info on this with a simple search, to include information that usually only goes to dealerships.

Secondly, skip the hysteria. There has been a SINGLE occurrence where the heat from the seat belt tensioner was so extreme that it caused the insulation to catch fire. Yep, ONE! But Toyota initiated a recall to be on the safe side.

By the way, back in the 70s I drove a Ford Pinto. People claimed those things would blow up if you looked at them wrong; but if mine didn't blow up, I seriously doubt any of them would. I had mine airborne and went offroading with it. I beat the snot out of that poor car and it never exploded on me.

Cheers! M2

I have not received anything yet on the recall, I think it may be another few weeks before they get the communication and training out to all the dealers. I have yet to receive anything on my 2007 Yaris Sedan. So I don't know how quickly they will make the notification or know what VINS are affected, but from the number its a good chunk if not all.
