Warning - Broken control arm bolt! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Hershey · 12-19-2012, 12:22 PM

It's cheaper for TOYOTA to do a T.S.B. than a recall . It's up to the TOYOTA service centers to determine if needed under a T.S.B. . While a recall would make it a must . I wonder if the techs even know what to look for ? We've had the creaking for 2 years or more . Took it to the shop where the '08 sedan was bought new and they said it was fine . Said they couldn't duplicate the sound . Figures

. Just think how much time it would take to fix all YARII from '06 > '11 . It's about a 8 hour repair . That would be lots of money from TOYOTAs pocket due to labor , parts , and sales that could tarnish their reputation more .
