The Yaris escaped problems by being built in Japan?

I beg to differ with you about being built in Japan. The yaris has a TSB from june of '08 telling the dealers that there may be a problem with the rear wheel speed sensors and wiring harness of the ABS system giving up the ghost because of salt and malfunctioning. Our northern neighbors in Canada and the northern states that use salt are now experiencing this problem at between 40 and 80 thousand miles. If you didn't catch it before the warranty was up or failed to buy the extended warranty then you are out between 300 and 500 dollars PER side to fix it. Toyota should have told their dealers in northern climates to do the TSP when the cars came in for service to prevent any problems but didn't, a GM type response. I love my yaris but this is a expensive and painful fix on a critical system on the car. Be careful of your gloating when made in japan appears.
