That being said, the Yaris seem pretty solid (hence me owning one) so probably not going to find much.

Its not that way anymore. Warranty repairs are their (dealerships') primary income. The tech will advise the service advisor if he/she sees an issue, the advisor will call the customer to add it to the work order.
