I mentioned that I know Yaris owners in other areas are getting the recall repairs completed. He said that re some things Toyota thinks that areas with inclement winter weather are 'needier' re recall repairs. I asked him how far north I would have to go to find a dealer that would fall into that category. He said it doesn't work that way...that it goes by VIN# and that Toyota knows where you live . I started carping a bit about that and he changed his tune a bit and said it might be by model year rather than location . Anyone have any idea if the remedy timeframe is being assigned by region (where your Yaris is registered), by model year, or some sort of program that considers both of these factors ?

Wow, wouldn't have expected that. Possibly by model year I would think, but hopefully not be a region thing unless they are thinking that folks are less likely to have an issue in warmer climates or are less likely to have moved the track a lot

"We have come to the conclusion after much research that people in the north tend to move their seat on the track at a higher rate of frequency than those in the south due to wanting to be closer to the vents during the winter and farther away during the summer." - said no one ever!
