I havent received the air bag one yet. The best fix is a fixed race seat bolted to the floor, and a race wheel. No worries about the seat sliding or airbag may or may not deploy. :) i might just get a race wheel now.

"Toyota is recalling certain model year 2006-2010 Yaris vehicles manufactured August 22, 2005, through May 12, 2010." My car was made 06/2010 so I'm ok for now for the seat rail.
For the airbag, it only states. 2006-2010 Yaris recall nothing specific. So guess I've to wait, and cross my fingers.

I just got my "wait for further instruction" letter on the seat rails. My seats don't move that much, thanks to work it's pretty much just a two seater. I was hoping to get the one for the airbag as that actually broke already, 5 years ago.

I'm surprised that Toyota has not issued an update on these recalls. Maybe they still have not figured out how to do these in a low cost way. I'm keeping my Yaris, but if someone was trying to sell one this could make it more difiicult.

Any guesses on when we'll actually be taking them in for repair; 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, more than 2 years?

I just received my remedy letter yesterday for the seat rails. They are replacing the rails altogether. I called my local dealer and they said as long as I have the VIN I can have them also give me new rails for my racing seat setup too.

I also got the seat rails remedy letter yesterday. No remedy letter on the spiral cable yet.
Just the preliminary one saying my Yaris was one of the ones with a possible spiral cable issue.

Also got my seat rail letter today. Phoned local dealer and they will not have the parts in until later this month. Have an appointment for July 29th to get seats fixed.
