Update, as I said before, my stock bolts were fine. But all of the creaking is gone.
So I guess the bolts had become lose over time. I also retorqued all of the bolts, so that may have done it as well. |

Warranty letter for broken bolt......
Got a letter from Toyota today saying warrenty is extended for a "front suspension lower arm number 2 bolt" that may be corroded and break. Warrenty covers years "late 2006" to "early 2011". Any comments on this?

I just got it today. Funny coincidence. Two weeks ago I was turning onto an entrance ramp to a highway and heard something snap. As I got up to the speed limit I start noticing a sound that I hadn't heard before. Since I had a lot to do that day I put the problem out of my mind and forgot about it. So today I get the letter. Good timing, right? The sound I was hearing was not a knocking or rattling sound. It was more of a consistent sound. My car is a 2008 hatchback with about 48000 miles on it.

Got a notice too, next oil change in about 800 mi so I'll have the dealer take a look. If they report no problems, I'm going ask for that in writing for future issues. Yet here in New Mexico other than some spot precipitation last couple of years. We are in a drought.

Several times, both here in Texas and in Florida, I've heard natives debating cold climate natives who are complaining about the heat. Each time the discussion has ended with the FL or TX native saying 'You don't have to shovel humidity'. Each time the cold weather native has had no answer, because there isn't one .

i'll take heat every time. I worked outdoors in florida. 110 degrees in the direct sunlight. I'll take that every time over snow. And I sunburn. My nick name when i played football was 'the red lobster." that was the color of my skin after the first day of doubles, and it didn't change until well after the season ended.

Ironically enough, I received my notice 2 days ago. Unfortunately for me, they sent it to me about 1000 miles too late. I had already turned over 100k on 2/22/13.

This is the aftermath. I found the bolt head on the floor in my garage. This was in August. The repair was in July. I had to pay for the repair, before the warranty enhancement. I just finished writing Toyota for reimbursement.
Ill post again once I have a response from Toyota. Snowy. |

Just got blessed by Toyota, I got a oil change completed. Yet I requested a inspection of the Lower Arm # 2 bolt. No corrosion, bolt was intact. They put that in writing on service receipt . Like I said earlier here in New Mexico we are high and dry for moisture. Yet I will always ask for the inspection of that bolt.

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 .

The power window switches are the recall item.
