Toyota Recalls - Toyota Yaris Forums

After reading a particular CTScott post a couple of days ago my takeaway was that the illumination of the light ('SRS/airbag light') = 'error' = means the system won't deploy AT ALL

. I decided to pay a visit to the service department at Fred Haas Toyota World to see if the the recall (for my Blue 2007 Yaris) had yet been flagged in their with the word REMEDY (I had been told that this flag needed to be in place before any work could be done). By chance, the person who helped me today happened to be the assistant service manager. He told me that the recall had yet to be flagged REMEDY. He then asked me if the light is illuminating. I said yes. He then said Toyota doesn't want customers driving around with a system that won't deploy (naturally, Scott = correct), so they'll put in a new spiral cable (so the system will deploy) and then will replace that again once the REMEDY arrives (which he said will = a different part number). Why hadn't previous people under him hadn't mentioned this?....IDK. A new spiral cable will be installed tomorrow, enabling the system to then deploy in the event of an accident.
