Toyota Recalls

[yarista]

[B]I have heard that Toyota had a recall out for camrys because of a leaky VVT oil supply line. The oil line that sends oil to the VVT hydraulic cam gear can develope an oil leak. Apparently, there is a plastic or rubber part of the oil line up near the head that starts leaking. Does the Yaris have such a recall?

That's an old recall and effected many vehicles that used the 2GR V6, not just the Camry. That issue was resolved some time ago. No, the 1NZ engine has no such line.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the automaker is looking into reports that the window switches on the driver’s side doors of a number of different Toyota models can overheat and catch fire. The problem has so far been linked to 161 fires and nine injuries.

This includes some Yaris subcompacts from the 2007 to 2009 model years.

According to the story, .32 million Chevy Trailblazers, and some 5 million Jeeps are being NHTSA'ed for the similar door-fire issues.

But the press will undoubtedly make this "a Toyota thing".

It's lonely at the top...
