I had my 2008 Yaris in for an oil change and door switch recall and they discovered the bolts on mine had broke . 104,000kms on the odometer - the dealer told me it was going to be paid by Toyota

We've had door switches replaced under warranty . The other rear door is sporadic with the dome light lighting . Had it in , but it worked while in the shop . Never fails . No recall here in the States . Not that I'm aware of .

I don't quite understand it. My Yaris is 2008 with JTDKT vin, but according to the tsb it's not affected as it follows the production change on Shokki plant. How come some the TSB says 2006-2009? Are there some 08s made after some 09s?
And should I trust the tsb?

Another thing, anyone had issues with bolts in the rear wheel arches (not too sure, probably subframe bolts) in front of the wheels? I am seeing some rust on those. Not necessarily a cause for concern as the bolts are intact, just wondering.

When I backing up and come to complete stop I hear like metal click noise. Is this due with lower control arm bolts defect. Please advice. Thanks!

I have this noise as well. Its actually very loud over some bumps. I just received a ZTU about this in the mail that Toyota will now cover the defect on late 2006 to early 2009 Yaris with up to 7 years and under 100,000 miles. Too bad I am at 117,000 miles.
Also, with the car off, I can push it back and I hear a loud squeaking sound as well! What in the world is this now? Could it be the control arm bolts just moving and producing the same sounds as over bumps? Or this is something completely different? I also noticed a new noise. Its like a metal on metal vibration when the car gets warm/hot (even now in winter). As long as the car is in Drive and at a stop, it vibrates loud. Same again when first accelerating from a stop or at a low speed. What can this be? Can someone help me please. I can't figure these out. |

The control arm bolts are easy to check. Even if you can't jack it up to take a look, you can at least feel for them. The pictures below shows where the bolts are located and what the bolts runs up through. Bolts - Location.jpg With the pushing back sound, if the bolt broke it could definitely be that. The metallic sound may be from one of the exhaust shields having pulled through the head of the mounting bolt.

Can you just unscrew the bolt, take a look at it, and put it back without disturbing anything?
Or do things go out of alignment when you remove the bolt and its trouble getting it back in? Whats the socket size? Thanks!

Just got my letter in the mail today. They are doing a 100,000 mile or 7 year coverage for the bolt. I'll take it in when I see that it's starting to go. Damn this salt!!

This appears to be a simple "replace". Couple of $4 or $5 bolts, breaker bar or torque wrench and a 19mm socket.
Until you shear one off, then forget it....................................thats why I haven't done mine. Will probably bring it to the dealer for them to do it at some point. OH, btw the TSB I have on this is 0078-12 Anyone else seen that one? Last edited by NEexpat; 02-14-2013 at 11:22 PM. |
