When I was in japan last year, I went to the Mazda factory in Hiroshima. I know its not Toyota, but it looked a lot cleaner and better designed than the ford plants that I have seen over here in the US. Im not saying that would cause all these recall issues, but it just was an amazing site to see

The ABS issue is huge for those of us in Canada. 600+ people have the problem in Ontario (according to backorder on parts). Shame that Toyota is making us pay $1000+ per wheel to get it fixed.

European Yaris are being recalled.

ok, i wasnt dreaming, since members here did go get recall work done on Japanese made Yarii.

im not bashing the yaris at all (as it seem as dependable as anything on the road), just the idea that cars made in japan are immune to problems.

I am confused on why the yaris managed to escape the recent recalls..but I get nervous because every week toyota is making more recalls on their cars. I think it is only time before one is put out for the yaris.

I believe the Yaris benefits from being simple and basic. Most cars today are becoming overly complex and that just opens the door for more and more problems. That said, it's still possible to avoid that many issues with great attention to detail. Lexus for the most part has proven that.

I honestly don't see a recall coming for the Yaris. There's many examples of high mileage Yaris's with no problems reported, most notably Triniper4mance's 400,000 miles virtually trouble free.

we have a 400k Yaris running strong, no pedal failure or anything..other than alternator (but thats norm)...the media can shove it up their a%* for all i care.

Run strong my fellow Yarii drivers...this car will not let you down~

I just wonder why some people think that just because a car was assembled in Japan, all of its part are made in Japan.

The fact is, Toyota has parts imported from other countries just like all other auto maufacturers.

Japanese car makers are in some cases now sending powertrains built in the U.S. back to Japan for assembly into cars made there.
